Mark 15:1-10 ▼

1 And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? and He answered It is as thou sayst.

3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things: but he answered nothing.

4 So Pilate asked Him again, saying, Dost thou answer nothing? See how many things they witness against thee:

5 but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.

6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired:

7 and there was one Barabbas under confinement with some of his accomplices in sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

8 And the people clamoured and desired him to do as he always used to do for them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Would ye have me release to you the king of the Jews?

10 (for he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up to him out of envy:)
