Lent 2011 Day 34

Mark 15:6-20

 ⁶Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
 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.
