Neville Goddard on Mark 15:12-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 15 in context

Scripture Focus

12And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Mark 15:12-15

Biblical Context

Pilate asks what to do with Jesus; the crowd demands crucifixion. The authorities yield to appearances, releasing Barabbas and delivering Jesus to be scourged and crucified.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe the drama as an inner weather map. The crowd’s demand to crucify is not a distant event but a movement within your own mind—your tendency to bow to appearances. Pilate’s question, 'What will ye that I shall do?' becomes a question you ask of your own beliefs: what story am I consenting to in this moment? The King of the Jews is the inner king—the I AM awareness—whose sovereignty is recognized only when you stop feeding the noise of the surface. Barabbas represents the old self you cling to; his release signals your willingness to let a former identity go. The scourge is the necessary shedding of limiting narratives so the true ruler may reign in quiet power. When you align with the inner king, you revise your reality, turning fear into faith and marching from the crowd’s verdict to the conviction of your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM, the inner king. In your imagination, release Barabbas and feel the king's quiet authority rising as the crowd's verdict falls away.
