Mark 15 ©

1 Jesus is brought bound and accused before Pilate: his silence before the governor. 6 Pilate, prevailed upon by the clamours of the people, releaseth Barabbas, and giveth up Jesus to be crucified. 16 Christ is mocked of the soldiers, crowned with thorns, and led to the place of crucifixion: 24 he is crucified between two thieves, 29 reviled, 33 and calling upon God expireth. 38 The veil of the temple rent. 39 The centurion's confession. 42 Joseph of Arimathaea beggeth the body, and burieth it.

1

AND astraightway 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.

a Mat. 27.1-23. Lu. 22.66; 23.1-28. Jn. 18.28,38-40; 19.1-15. Ps. 2.2. Ac. 3.13; 4.26-28; 2.23. Lu. 18.32.

bAnd Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

b Mat. 27.11. Lu. 23.2,3. Jn. 18.29-38. 1Ti. 6.13.
3

cAnd the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

c Lu. 23.2,5. Jn. 18.30; 19.7,12. Mat. 27.12. Is. 53.7.
4

dAnd Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

d ch. 14.61. Mat. 26.62; 27.13,14. Jn. 19.9,10. Is. 53.7.
5

But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

6

eNow at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

e Mat. 26.2,5; 27.15. Lu. 23.17. Jn. 2.13; 4.45; 18.39,40.
7

fAnd there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

f Lu. 23.18,19,25. Jn. 18.40. Mat. 27.16.
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, gWill ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

g Jos. 24.15. 1Ki. 18.21. Mat. 27.17,21. Lu. 23.13-21. Jn. 18.39; 19.12.
10

11

iBut the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

i Mat. 27.20. Lu. 23.18. Jn. 18.40. Ac. 3.14,15. Ho. 5.1. Eze. 22.26.
12

And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the jKing of the Jews?

j Mat. 2.2. Ac. 5.31. Ps. 2.6. Is. 9.6,7. Je. 23.5,6; 30.21; 33.15,16. Mi. 5.2.

l Pr. 27.4. Is. 53.3. Jn. 15.18,24,25. Ps. 35.19; 69.5. Lu. 23.23.
