Mark 15:6-15

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ Now at the feast, Pilate would deliver a prisoner to them, whoever they desired.

⁷ And there was one named Barabbas (who was bound with his fellows) who had made insurrection, during which he had committed murder.

⁸ And the people cried aloud and began to desire that Pilate would do as he had always done for them.

⁹ Then Pilate answered them, and said, “Should I release to you the King of the Jews?”

¹⁰ For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him out of envy.

¹¹ But the chief priests had incited the people to desire Barabbas.

¹² And Pilate answered, and said to them again, “What then shall I do with Him Whom you call the King of the Jews?”

¹³ And they cried again, “Crucify Him!”

¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, “But, what evil has He done?” And they cried even more fervently, “Crucify Him!”

¹⁵ So Pilate, willing to content the people, gave them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus - once he had scourged Him - to be crucified.
