New Testament

Mark 15:8-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as he was accustomed.

9. Pilate answered, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”

10. For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed him over.

11. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead.

12. Pilate again said to them in reply, “Then what [do you want] me to do with [the man you call] the king of the Jews?”

13. They shouted again, “Crucify him.”

14. Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” They only shouted the louder, “Crucify him.”

15. So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified.
