Markus 15
1 En terstond, des morgens vroeg, hielden de overpriesters te zamen raad, met de ouderlingen en Schriftgeleerden, en den gehelen raad, en Jezus gebonden hebbende, brachten zij Hem heen, en gaven Hem aan Pilatus over.
Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
2 En Pilatus vraagde Hem: Zijt Gij de Koning der Joden? En Hij antwoordende, zeide tot hem: Gij zegt het.
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 En de overpriesters beschuldigden Hem van vele zaken; maar Hij antwoordde niets.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 En Pilatus vraagde Hem wederom, zeggende: Antwoordt Gij niet? Zie, hoe vele zaken zij tegen U getuigen!
So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
5 En Jezus heeft niet meer geantwoord, zodat Pilatus zich verwonderde.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 En op het feest liet hij hun een gevangene los, wien zij ook begeerden.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
7 En er was een, genaamd Bar-abbas, gevangen met andere medeoproermakers, die in het oproer een doodslag gedaan had.
[At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
8 En de schare riep uit, en begon te begeren, dat hij deed, gelijk hij hun altijd gedaan had.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 En Pilatus antwoordde hun, zeggende: Wilt gij, dat ik u den Koning der Joden loslate?
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
10 (Want hij wist, dat de overpriesters Hem door nijd overgeleverd hadden.)
[He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
11 Maar de overpriesters bewogen de schare, dat hij hun liever Bar-abbas zou loslaten.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 En Pilatus, antwoordende, zeide wederom tot hen: Wat wilt gij dan, dat ik met Hem doen zal, Dien gij een Koning der Joden noemt?
Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
13 En zij riepen wederom: Kruis Hem.
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Doch Pilatus zeide tot hen: Wat heeft Hij dan kwaads gedaan? En zij riepen te meer: Kruis Hem!
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Pilatus nu, willende der schare genoeg doen, heeft hun Bar-abbas losgelaten, en gaf Jezus over, als hij Hem gegeseld had, om gekruist te worden.
So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
16 En de krijgsknechten leidden Hem binnen in de zaal, welke is het rechthuis, en riepen de ganse bende samen;
The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
17 En deden Hem een purperen mantel aan, en een doornenkroon gevlochten hebbende, zetten Hem die op;
[After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
18 En begonnen Hem te groeten, zeggende: Wees gegroet, Gij Koning der Joden!
Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
19 En sloegen Zijn hoofd met een rietstok, en bespogen Hem, en vallende op de knieen, aanbaden Hem.
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 En als zij Hem bespot hadden, deden zij Hem den purperen mantel af, en deden Hem Zijn eigen klederen aan, en leidden Hem uit, om Hem te kruisigen.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
21 En zij dwongen een Simon van Cyrene, die daar voorbijging, komende van den akker, den vader van Alexander en Rufus, dat hij Zijn kruis droeg.
[After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
22 En zij brachten Hem tot de plaats Golgotha, hetwelk is, overgezet zijnde, Hoofdschedelplaats.
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 En zij gaven Hem gemirreden wijn te drinken; maar Hij nam dien niet.
Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
24 En als zij Hem gekruisigd hadden, verdeelden zij Zijn klederen, werpende het lot over dezelve, wat een iegelijk wegnemen zou.
[Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
25 En het was de derde ure, en zij kruisigden Hem.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 En het opschrift Zijner beschuldiging was boven Hem geschreven: DE KONING DER JODEN.
They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
27 En zij kruisigden met Hem twee moordenaars, een aan Zijn rechter-, en een aan Zijn linkerzijde.
They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
28 En de Schrift is vervuld geworden, die daar zegt: En Hij is met de misdadigers gerekend.
29 En die voorbijgingen, lasterden Hem, schuddende hun hoofden, en zeggende: Ha! Gij, die den tempel afbreekt, en in drie dagen opbouwt,
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
30 Behoud Uzelven, en kom af van het kruis.
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 En insgelijks ook de overpriesters, met de Schriftgeleerden, zeiden tot elkander, al spottende: Hij heeft anderen verlost; Zichzelven kan Hij niet verlossen.
The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
32 De Christus, de Koning Israels, kome nu af van het kruis, opdat wij het zien en geloven mogen. Ook die met Hem gekruist waren, smaadden Hem.
He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
33 En als de zesde ure gekomen was, werd er duisternis over de gehele aarde, tot de negende ure toe.
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 En ter negender ure, riep Jezus met een grote stem, zeggende: ELOI, ELOI, LAMMA SABACHTANI, hetwelk is, overgezet zijnde: Mijn God, Mijn God! Waarom hebt Gij Mij verlaten?
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 En sommigen van die daarbij stonden, dit horende, zeiden: Ziet, Hij roept Elias.
When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
36 En er liep een, en vulde een spons met edik, en stak ze op een rietstok, en gaf Hem te drinken, zeggende: Houdt stil, laat ons zien, of Elias komt, om Hem af te nemen.
One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
37 En Jezus, een grote stem van Zich gegeven hebbende, gaf den geest.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 En het voorhangsel des tempels scheurde in tweeen, van boven tot beneden.
[At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
39 En de hoofdman over honderd, die daarbij tegenover Hem stond, ziende, dat Hij alzo roepende den geest gegeven had, zeide: Waarlijk, deze Mens was Gods Zoon!
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
40 En er waren ook vrouwen, van verre dit aanschouwende, onder welke ook was Maria Magdalena, en Maria, de moeder van Jakobus, den kleine, en van Joses, en Salome;
There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
41 Welke ook, toen Hij in Galilea was, Hem waren gevolgd, en Hem gediend hadden; en vele andere vrouwen, die met Hem naar Jeruzalem opgekomen waren.
42 En als het nu avond was geworden, dewijl het de voorbereiding was, welke is de voorsabbat;
When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
43 Kwam Jozef, die van Arimathea was, een eerlijk raadsheer, die ook zelf het Koninkrijk Gods was verwachtende, en zich verstoutende, ging hij in tot Pilatus, en begeerde het lichaam van Jezus.
44 En Pilatus verwonderde zich, dat Hij alrede gestorven was; en den hoofdman over honderd tot zich geroepen hebbende, vraagde hem, of Hij lang gestorven was.
Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
45 En als hij het van den hoofdman over honderd verstaan had, schonk hij Jozef het lichaam.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
46 En hij kocht fijn lijnwaad, en Hem afgenomen hebbende, wond Hem in dat fijne lijnwaad, en leide Hem in een graf, hetwelk uit een steenrots gehouwen was; en hij wentelde een steen tegen de deur des grafs.
After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
47 En Maria Magdalena, en Maria, de moeder van Joses, aanschouwden, waar Hij gelegd werd.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
