Mark 15:6-15 ▼

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.

11 But the hye priestes moued the people, that he shoulde rather delyuer Barabbas vnto them.

12 Pilate aunswered agayne, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye then that I do vnto hym, whom ye call the kyng of the Iewes?

13 And they cryed agayne, crucifie hym.

14 Pilate sayde vnto them: What euyll hath he done? And they cryed the more feruently, crucifie hym.

15 And so Pilate, wyllyng to content the people, let loose Barabbas vnto them, and deliuered vp Iesus, when he had scourged hym, for to be crucified.
