Mark 15:5

1Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

2Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”

3The chief priests accused him of many things.

4Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”

5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

6Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.

7There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

8The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

9Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
