Mark 15
1 AND immediately the chief priests having held a council in the morning, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, after binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
And immediately in the morning, after the leaders of the priests had taken counsel with the elders and the scribes and the entire council, binding Jesus, they led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? He answering said to him, Thou sayest true.
And Pilate questioned him, “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said to him, “You are saying it.”
3 And the chief priests laid many accusations against him.
And the leaders of the priests accused him in many things.
4 Then Pilate again interrogated him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee.
Then Pilate again questioned him, saying: “Do you not have any response? See how greatly they accuse you.”
5 But Jesus notwithstanding made not a word of reply; so that Pilate marvelled.
But Jesus continued to give no response, so that Pilate wondered.
6 Now at the feast, he released one prisoner to them, whomsoever they petitioned for.
Now on the feast day, he was accustomed to release to them one of the prisoners, whomever they requested.
7 And there was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made an insurrection with him, and had committed murder in the insurrection.
But there was one called Barabbas, who had committed murder in the sedition, who was confined with those of the sedition.
8 And the multitude, clamorous, began to petition him to do, as he had always done to them.
And when the crowd had ascended, they began to petition him to do as he always did for them.
9 Then Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
But Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
10 (For he knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up.)
For he knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the priests had betrayed him.
11 Then the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
12 Then Pilate addressing them, said unto them again, What therefore do you wish that I should do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews?
But Pilate, responding again, said to them: “Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
But again they cried out, “Crucify him.”
14 Then Pilate said unto them, But what criminal act hath he done? And they cried the more vociferously, Crucify him.
Yet truly, Pilate said to them: “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify him.”
15 So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.
Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.

19 And they struck him on the head with a cane, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees payed him homage.
And they struck his head with a reed, and they spit on him. And kneeling down, they reverenced him.
20 And when they had treated him with mockery, they took off the purple robe from him, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him out to crucify him.
And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and they clothed him in his own garments. And they led him away, so that they might crucify him.

30 save thyself, and come down from the cross.
save yourself by descending from the cross.”
31 And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save.
And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: “He saved others. He is not able to save himself.
32 Thou Messiah, King of Israel, come now down from the cross, that we may see, and believe. Even those who were crucified with him railed on him.
Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

And some of those standing near, upon hearing this, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36 Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.
