Mark 15:1-26

August 27, 2024 • Jesse

“Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He *answered him, “It is as you say.” The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly. Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!” But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed. Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested. The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection. The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them. Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead. Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” They shouted back, “Crucify Him!” But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!” Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.”

Speaker 1: 1:46

Jesus is mocked. The soldiers took him away into the palace, that is, the praetorium, and they called together the Roman cohort. They dressed him up in purple and, after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him and they began to acclaim him Hail King of the Jews. They put it on him and they began to acclaim him Hail King of the Jews. They kept beating his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling and bowing before him.

Speaker 1: 2:11

After they had mocked him, they took the purple robe off him and put his own garments on him and they led him out to crucify him. They pressed into service a passerby coming from the country Simon of Cyrene, into service a passerby coming from the country Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross, the Crucifixion. Then they brought him to the place Golgotha, which is translated place of a skull. They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it and they crucified him and divided up his garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him read the King of the Jews.
