Mark 15:1-10 ▼

1 And anone in the dawnyng, the hye priestes held a councel, with the elders, and the scribes, and the whole congregation, and bound Iesus, and ledde hym away, and deliuered hym to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked hym: Art thou the kyng of the Iewes? And he aunswered and sayde vnto hym: thou sayest it?

3 And the hye priestes accused hym of many thynges.

4 So Pilate asked hym agayne, saying: Aunswerest thou nothyng? Beholde, howe many thynges they witnesse agaynst thee.

5 Iesus yet aunswered nothyng, so that Pilate marueyled.

6 At that feast, Pilate dyd delyuer vnto them a prisoner, whomsoeuer they woulde desire.

7 And there was one, that was named Barabbas, which lay bounde, with them that made insurrection: Which men had committed murther also in the insurrection.

8 And the people crying aloude, began to desire hym that he woulde do, according as he had euer done vnto them.

9 Pilate aunswered them, saying: Wyll ye that I let loose vnto you the kyng of the Iewes?

10 For he knewe, that the hye priestes had delyuered hym of enuie.
