Neville Goddard on Mark 15:6-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 15 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

7And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

8And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

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 15:6-15

Biblical Context

At the feast, Pilate frees one prisoner as the crowd asks. They choose Barabbas over Jesus, and Jesus is delivered to be crucified.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene inside your mind: the crowd of thoughts crying for Barabbas, while the inner Pilate questions what you will release. The King of the Jews—the I AM within—sits as the true ruler of your consciousness. If you align with Barabbas—desire, fear, and rebellion—you lend power to the old self; if you cry, 'Crucify him,' you release the old man to die, making room for the new. The 'cross' is the inner conversion: not punishment, but the alchemical death of limitation in favor of a sovereign inner state. This is Judgment and the Kingdom of God being manifested as your present experience. The moment you revise the scene—declare, 'I release Barabbas' and affirm, 'The King within now reigns'—you re-script your reality so that the outer shows the inner decree.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I release Barabbas; the King within now reigns.' Feel the I AM rise in you and notice your world adjust to the new inner state.
