Mark 15:1 - 15:32

Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides a comprehensive examination of Mark 15:1-32, which describes how Jesus underwent six trials, was ridiculed, beaten, and ultimately crucified while two robbers hung beside him. Jewish leaders falsely accused Jesus of inciting insurrection against Rome and, despite Pilate finding him innocent, the crowd pressured the governor to have him executed. Despite this, Steve highlights how Jesus chose not to save himself even though he had the power to do so, fulfilling the prophecies about his crucifixion in Isaiah 53. The passage also touches on the release of Barabbas and the promise of salvation to one of the robbers on the cross.
