Mark 15:2-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
2Pilate questioned Him: 'So You are the King of the Jews?' And He answered him, 'It is as you say.' 3And the chief priests started accusing Him of many things. 4But Pilate questioned Him again, saying, 'Do You offer nothing in answer? See how many charges they are bringing against You!' 5But Jesus said nothing further in answer, so Pilate was amazed.
6Now at the Passover Feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.
7And the one named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the revolt.
8And the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.
9Pilate answered them, saying, 'Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?'
10For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.
12And responding again, Pilate said to them, 'Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?'
13They shouted back, 'Crucify Him!'
14But Pilate said to them, 'Why, what evil has He done?' But they shouted all the more, 'Crucify Him!'
15Intent on satisfying the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
King James Version
Chapter 15
2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12And 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?
13And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

3And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4Pilate questioned him again, "Aren’t you going to answer? Look how many things they are accusing you of!"
5But Jesus still did not answer, and so Pilate was amazed.
6At the festival Pilate used to release for the people a prisoner whom they requested.
7There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.
8The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.
9Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?"
10For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed him over.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
12Pilate asked them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call the King of the Jews?"
New Living Translation
3Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes,
4and Pilate asked him, 'Aren’t you going to answer them? What about all these charges they are bringing against you?'
5But Jesus said nothing, much to Pilate’s surprise.
6Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner — anyone the people requested.
7One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder in an uprising.
8The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner as usual.
9Would you like me to release to you this ‘King of the Jews’?' Pilate asked.
10(For he realized by now that the leading priests had arrested Jesus out of envy.)
11But at this point the leading priests stirred up the crowd to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus.
12Pilate asked them, 'Then what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?'
16The soldiers took Jesus into the courtyard of the governor’s headquarters (called the Praetorium) and called out the entire regiment.
17They dressed him in a purple robe, and they wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head.
18Then they saluted him and taunted, 'Hail! King of the Jews!'

Chapter 15
2And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." 3And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you." 5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
6Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.
7And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.
8And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.
9And he answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"
10For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.
12And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?"
13And they cried out again, "Crucify him."
14And Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."
15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

6Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.
7And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.
8Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
