1000 Mk.15.1-15 Barabbas or Christ

In this passage, Jesus is taken before the Governor, Pilate. He is falsely accused, but He does not defend Himself. He has already decided to accept the Cup (of suffering) the Father has given Him to take. In spite of the Governor declaring His innocence, the crowd chooses a different hero for themselves. A man who better reflects the Messiah they would prefer.
