Mark 15:3 Cross References - WNT

³ Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,

¹² When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.

⁶⁰ At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?" ⁶¹ But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" he said.

⁵ But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.

² "We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king." ³ Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied. ⁴ Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man." ⁵ But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."

²⁹ Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?" ³⁰ "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you." ³¹ "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."

⁶ As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him." ⁷ "We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God."

¹² Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."
