Mark 15:1-28

ACV(i) 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. 2 And Pilate questioned him, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou say. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again questioned him, saying, Thou answer nothing? Behold how many things they testify against thee. 5 But Jesus answered nothing any more, so as for Pilate to wonder. 6 Now during a feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested. 7 And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 And having cried aloud, the multitude began to ask as he was always doing for them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Do ye wish that I would release to you the king of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up because of envy. 11 But the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead. 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? 13 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. 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. 16 And the soldiers led him away inside the courtyard, which is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole band. 17 And they put purple clothing on him, and clothe him with a woven crown of thorns, 18 and began to salute him, Hail, king of the Jews! 19 And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshiped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took the purple garment off of him, and dressed him with his own garments. And they lead him out so that they might crucify him. 21 And they draft a certain Simon, a Cyrenian passing by coming from the countryside, the father of Alexander and Rufus, so that he would take his cross. 22 And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull. 23 And they gave him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it. 24 And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot for them, who would take what. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of his accusation was inscribed, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And they crucify two robbers with him, one at his right hand, and one at his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was reckoned with lawless men.
