Mark 15:1-15
Jesus before Pilate
Again Jesus only answer what he deems to be the truth and keep silence to false accusations i.e not arguing or defending against it…not wasting an ounce of energy over it.
“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied.
The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer?….But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate is amazed vs 2-4.
Custom at the feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested vs 6….Jesus or Barabbas.. choice..the priest stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead…Crucify him..vs 11-12. .Th: for no crime but envy.
Mark 15:16-46, NIV
The soldiers mocked Jesus; Jesus was crucufied. Pilate released Jesus’ body to Joseph to be buried.
