Mark 15:1-10 ▼

1 And early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, immediately held council; and binding Jesus, led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

2 And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “You yourself say it.”

3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4 Then Pilate was questioning Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many accusations they bring against You!”

5 But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate marveled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

7 And the man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

8 And the crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

9 And Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

10 For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him over because of envy.
