Mark 15

¹And 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.

²Then Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered, and sayde vnto him, Thou sayest it.

³And the hie Priestes accused him of many things.

⁴Wherefore Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? beholde howe many things they witnesse against thee.

⁵But Iesus answered no more at all, so that Pilate marueiled.

⁶Nowe at the feast, Pilate did deliuer a prisoner vnto them, whomesoeuer they woulde desire.

⁷Then there was one named Barabbas, which was bounde with his fellowes, that had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸And the people cried aloude, and began to desire that he woulde doe as he had euer done vnto them.

⁹Then Pilate answered them, and said, Will ye that I let loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes?

¹⁰For he knewe that the hie Priestes had deliuered him of enuie.

¹¹But the high Priestes had moued the people to desire that he would rather deliuer Barabbas vnto them.

¹²And Pilate answered, and said againe vnto them, What will ye then that I doe with him, whom ye call the King of the Iewes?

¹³And they cried againe, Crucifie him.

Then Pilate said vnto them, But what euill hath he done? And they cryed the more feruently, Crucifie him.
