Mark 15:15-20

Riverside(i) 15 Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set free Barabbas for them and after scourging Jesus handed him over to be crucified. 16 The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion. 17 Then they dressed him in purple and put on him a crown of thorns which they had twisted together, 18 and they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19 They kept striking him on the head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees they did homage to him. 20 After making sport of him, they took off the purple and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
