Today's Reading From Mark 15.1-25

Mark 15.1-25 with Commentaries, verse by verse

Jesus appeared before Pilate (Mark 15.2-15; Matt 27.11-26; Luke 23.2,3,18-25; John 18.29-19.16) It was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner that the people wanted. It was Jesus or Barabbas. The chief priests stirred the crowd to pick Barabbas. here we have the Prince of Priest, or Barabbas, the insurrectionist! Which one would you have chosen? With the mob mentality, the people chose Barabbas.
The soldiers put a crown of thorns on His head, and a purple robe and called Him the king of the Jews, then they mocked Him.
They led Him away to be crucified (Mark 15.22-32; Matthew 27.33-44; Luke 23.33-43; John 19.17-24). Jesus was exhausted and weakened by a sleepless night, he faced many trials, floggings, and scourging. He could not carry the beam of the cross which probably weighed fifty pounds. We do not need a movie of Christ to let us know what He went through for us. Link to the crucifixion.
