Jesus Delivered to Pilate
Mark 15:1-15
1
And anon in the dawning, the hie Priestes helde a Councill with the Elders, and the Scribes, and the whole Council, and bound Iesus, and led him away, and deliuered him to Pilate.
2
Then Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered, and sayde vnto him, Thou sayest it.
3
And the hie Priestes accused him of many things.
4
Wherefore Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? beholde howe many things they witnesse against thee.
5
But Iesus answered no more at all, so that Pilate marueiled.
6
Nowe at the feast, Pilate did deliuer a prisoner vnto them, whomesoeuer they woulde desire.
7
Then there was one named Barabbas, which was bounde with his fellowes, that had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8
And the people cried aloude, and began to desire that he woulde doe as he had euer done vnto them.
9
Then Pilate answered them, and said, Will ye that I let loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes?
10
For he knewe that the hie Priestes had deliuered him of enuie.
11
But the high Priestes had moued the people to desire that he would rather deliuer Barabbas vnto them.
12
And Pilate answered, and said againe vnto them, What will ye then that I doe with him, whom ye call the King of the Iewes?
13
And they cried againe, Crucifie him.
14
Then Pilate said vnto them, But what euill hath he done? And they cryed the more feruently, Crucifie him.
15
So Pilate willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas, and deliuered Iesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
