Mark 14: 66 - 15: 20
| 66As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came, 67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!” |
| 68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed. |
| 69The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.” 70But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.” 71But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!” 72The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept. |
| 1Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and 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 marvelled. |
| 6Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom 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?” 10For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. 12Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?” |
| 13They cried out again, “Crucify him!” |
| 14Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” |
| But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!” |
| 15Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified. 16The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. 17They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. 20When they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him. |
