No system in perfect in society because flawed people are involved. Join us this week as we look at a Flawed System in the first century from Mark 15:1-15.

Mark 15:1-15 (HCSB)
¹ As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
² So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered him, “You have said it.”
³ And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things. ⁴ Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!” ⁵ But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.
⁶ At the festival it was Pilate’s custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested. ⁷ There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion. ⁸ The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom. ⁹ So Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?” ¹⁰ For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
¹² Pilate asked them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
¹³ Again they shouted, “Crucify Him!”
¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What has He done wrong?”
But they shouted, “Crucify Him!” all the more.
¹⁵ Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
