Mark 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.	1 And immediately in the morning, after the leaders of the priests had taken counsel with the elders and the scribes and the entire council, binding Jesus, they led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.	2 And Pilate questioned him, “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said to him, “You are saying it.”
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.	3 And the leaders of the priests accused him in many things.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.	4 Then Pilate again questioned him, saying: “Do you not have any response? See how greatly they accuse you.”
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.	5 But Jesus continued to give no response, so that Pilate wondered.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.	6 Now on the feast day, he was accustomed to release to them one of the prisoners, whomever they requested.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.	7 But there was one called Barabbas, who had committed murder in the sedition, who was confined with those of the sedition.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.	8 And when the crowd had ascended, they began to petition him to do as he always did for them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?	9 But Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.	10 For he knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the priests had betrayed him.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.	11 Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
12 And 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?	12 But Pilate, responding again, said to them: “Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.	13 But again they cried out, “Crucify him.”
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.	14 Yet truly, Pilate said to them: “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify him.”
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.	15 Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.	30 save yourself by descending from the cross.”
