Mark 15
1 And straightaway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scholars and the whole council, having made a plan, after binding Jesus, they took him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
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 questioned him, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou say.
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.
And the chief priests accused Him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate again questioned him, saying, Thou answer nothing? Behold how many things they testify against thee.
So Pilate asked Him again, saying, Dost thou answer nothing? See how many things they witness against thee:
5 But Jesus answered nothing any more, so as for Pilate to wonder.
but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.
6 Now during a feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested.
Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired:
7 And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection.
and there was one Barabbas under confinement with some of his accomplices in sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And having cried aloud, the multitude began to ask as he was always doing for them.
And the people clamoured and desired him to do as he always used to do for them.
9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Do ye wish that I would release to you the king of the Jews?
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 because of envy.
(for he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up to him out of envy: )
11 But the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
but the chief priests incited the people to desire that he would rather release Barabbas to them.
12 And again having answered, Pilate said to them, What then do ye wish I would do to the man whom ye call the king of the Jews?
And Pilate answered, and said to them again, What then would you have me do with Him, whom ye call king of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
And they cried out again, Crucify Him.
14 And Pilate said to them, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, Crucify him.
But Pilate said unto them, Why, what ill has He done? And they cried out the more vehemently, Crucify Him.
15 And Pilate, wanting to do what was sufficient for the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And he delivered Jesus, after scourging, so that he might be crucified.
So Pilate being willing to ingratiate with the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered Him up to be crucified.

30 save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking among each other with the scholars said, He saved others, he cannot save himself.
And the chief priests likewise scoffing at Him among themselves, with the scribes, said, He saved others, Himself He cannot save: let Christ,
