Mark 15
1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.
And immediately in the morning, after the leaders of the priests had taken counsel with the elders and the scribes and the entire council, binding Jesus, they led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, Thou sayest.
And Pilate questioned him, “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said to him, “You are saying it.”
3 And the chief priests accused him urgently.
And the leaders of the priests accused him in many things.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
Then Pilate again questioned him, saying: “Do you not have any response? See how greatly they accuse you.”
5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
But Jesus continued to give no response, so that Pilate wondered.
6 But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].
Now on the feast day, he was accustomed to release to them one of the prisoners, whomever they requested.
7 Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.
But there was one called Barabbas, who had committed murder in the sedition, who was confined with those of the sedition.
8 And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.
And when the crowd had ascended, they began to petition him to do as he always did for them.
9 But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
But Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
10 for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
For he knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the priests had betrayed him.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
12 And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?
But Pilate, responding again, said to them: “Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
But again they cried out, “Crucify him.”
14 And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
Yet truly, Pilate said to them: “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify him.”
15 And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and they clothed him in his own garments. And they led him away, so that they might crucify him.
21 And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.

22 And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
And they led him through to the place called Golgotha, which means, ‘the Place of Calvary.’
23 And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].
And they gave him wine with myrrh to drink. But he did not accept it.
24 And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.
And while crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots over them, to see who would take what.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it,
30 save thyself, and descend from the cross.
save yourself by descending from the cross.”
31 In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: “He saved others. He is not able to save himself.
32 Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

And some of those standing near, upon hearing this, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36 And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.
