Mark 15:2-12

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou king of Jews? And Jesus answered, and said to him, Thou sayest [And he answering saith to him, Thou sayest].
3 And the high priests accused him in many things. [And the highest priests accused him in many things.]
4 But Pilate again asked him, and said [saying], Answerest thou nothing? Seest thou in how many things they accuse thee?
5 But Jesus answered no more [Forsooth Jesus more nothing answered], so that Pilate wondered.
6 But by the feast day he was wont to let go to them to them one of the men bound, whomever they asked. [+Forsooth by the feast day he was wont to leave to them/he was wont to deliver to them one of the prisoners, whomever they asked.]
7 And there was one that was said Barabbas, that was bound with men of dissension, that had done manslaughter in sedition [that had done manslaying in dissension].
8 And when the people was gone up, he began to pray, as he evermore did to them. [And when the company had ascended, he began to pray, as he ever did to them.]
9 And Pilate answered to them, and said, Will ye that I let go to you the king of Jews? [+Soothly Pilate answered to them, and said, Will ye I leave to you the king of Jews/Will ye that I deliver to you the king of Jews?]
10 For he knew, that the high priests had taken him by envy. [Forsooth he knew that the highest priests had betaken him by envy.]
11 But the bishops stirred the people, that he should rather let go to them Barabbas. [+Forsooth the bishops stirred the company of people, that more he should leave to them Barabbas/Forsooth the bishops excited the company, that more he should deliver to them Barabbas.]
12 And again Pilate answered, and said to them, What then will ye that I shall do to the king of Jews?
