Mark 15:16

14 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15 And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17 They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18 And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
