Mark 15:7-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
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.
16Now the soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman cohort.
17And they *dressed Him in purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;
18and they began saluting Him: 'Hail, King of the Jews!'
19And they repeatedly beat His head with a reed and spit on Him, and kneeling, they bowed down before Him.
20And after they had mocked Him, they took the purple cloak off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
King James Version
Chapter 15
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.
16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
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?"
16The soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence ) and called the whole company together.
17They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on him.
18And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19They were hitting him on the head with a stick and spitting on him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying him homage.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
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!'
19And they struck him on the head with a reed stick, spit on him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship.
20When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

Chapter 15
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.
16And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor 's headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion.
17And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
New International Version
Chapter 15
7A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9"Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,
10knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
16The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.
17They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.
18And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
19Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.
20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
New King James Version
Chapter 15
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.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
16Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.
17And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,
18and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.
20And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
