PROCLAMATION AND RESPONSE

SPECIAL MUSIC   Ain’t No Rock Gonna Chancel ChoirShout for Me

By Lloyd Larson

PROCLAMATION OF THEPASSION STORY Mark 15:1-39

Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for

whom they asked. Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the

rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. So the crowd

came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom.Then he answered them, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests

had handed him over. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to havehim release Barabbas for them instead. Pilate spoke to them again, “Then

what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?”

They shouted back, “Crucify him!”  Pilate asked them, “Why, what evil

has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!” So Pilate,

wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after

flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

Leader: This is the Word of God, for us, the people of God.

All: Thanks be to God!
