Mark 15:2 Cross References

Mark 15:2

2: Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."

"Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We have seen his star as it arose, and we have come to worship him."

Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. "Are you the King of the Jews?" the governor asked him. Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."
But when the leading priests and other leaders made their accusations against him, Jesus remained silent.
"Don't you hear their many charges against you?" Pilate demanded.
But Jesus said nothing, much to the governor's great surprise.

And I command you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate,

A signboard was fastened to the cross above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "The King of the Jews."

And Pilate posted a sign over him that read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
Then the leading priests said to Pilate, "Change it from 'The King of the Jews' to 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'"
Pilate replied, "What I have written, I have written. It stays exactly as it is."

They began at once to state their case: "This man has been leading our people to ruin by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king."
So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."

"But if I release Barabbas," Pilate asked them, "what should I do with this man you call the King of the Jews?"

So Pilate, the governor, went out to them and asked, "What is your charge against this man?"
"We wouldn't have handed him over to you if he weren't a criminal!" they retorted.
"Then take him away and judge him by your own laws," Pilate told them. "Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone," the Jewish leaders replied.
This fulfilled Jesus' prediction about the way he would die.
Then Pilate went back inside and called for Jesus to be brought to him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked him.
