< Mark 15 >

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation with the elders, and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to Pilate;
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].”
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!”
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for;
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
And Pilate answering, again said to them, “What, then, will you [that] I will do to Him whom you call King of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
And Pilate, resolving to do that which [was] satisfactory to the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered up Jesus—having scourged [Him]—that He might be crucified.

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
