Mark 15:16
Verse 16 of 47. The 15th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.
12Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
17They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
20When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
