Mark 15:1
Jesus Brought Before Pilate
15:1 Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
Mark 15:16-20
Jesus is Mocked
15:16 So the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort.
15:17 They put a purple cloak on him and after braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
15:18 They began to salute him: “Hail, king of the Jews!”
15:19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Then they knelt down and paid homage to him.
15:20 When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
