Mark 15:11-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.

12. But Pilate, responding again, said to them: "Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?"

13. But again they cried out, "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. Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.

16. Then the soldiers led him away to the court of the praetorium. And they called together the entire cohort.

17. And they clothed him with purple. And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on him.
