Mark 15:1-20
Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted. “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
Why?
The priests can't judge people so they handed Jesus over to Pilate, and asked Pilate to crucify Jesus. Even Pilate could not find evidence to judge Jesus, but he wanted to satisfy the crowd so Pilate ignore justice but listen to the crowd's voice, the crowd is missing their right way and was disturbed by the chief priest.
Jesus replied he is the king of the Jews, other questions he did not answer. He didn't explain any other issues.

祭司定耶穌的罪是自稱耶穌的兒子，在羅馬這個不是罪，若自稱是猶太人的王，就有違反羅馬律法，猶太人的王要羅馬政府指定。耶穌不回答，彼拉多明知耶穌沒有罪，也知道祭司忌妒耶穌，卻不執行公義，沒有律法的制度可言！耶穌回答突顯了彼拉多握公義的權柄，卻行不出來，民眾也是幫兇。耶穌的死是民主制度造成的。因此屬靈的事不能用投票表決。教會的管理同樣不宜以投票表決！任何制度在罪人向上執行都會有偏差。
這群兵丁什麼都不知道，卻以開玩笑的方法來反諷耶穌這王，諷刺耶穌無用的冠冕。沒有信主的人也會以耶穌、教會來開玩笑。

How?
Jesus like a lamb he is calm down and accept the criticism and be crucified. Because he loves us,
