Mark 15
1 As soon as it was early morning, having already formed a plan, the chief priests with the elders and scribes, indeed the whole council, bound Jesus, led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
2 Pilate asked Him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” So in answer He said to him, “You stated a fact!”
And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? and He answered It is as thou sayst.
3 But the chief priests kept accusing Him of many things.
And the chief priests accused Him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 So Pilate asked Him again, saying: “Are you not going to answer? See how many things they are testifying against you!”
So Pilate asked Him again, saying, Dost thou answer nothing? See how many things they witness against thee:
5 But Jesus still gave no answer, so that Pilate marveled.
but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.
6 Now at the feast he would release to them one prisoner, whomever they would request.
Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired:
7 Well there was one called Barabbas, who had been bound with his fellow insurrectionists, who in the insurrection had committed murder.
and there was one Barabbas under confinement with some of his accomplices in sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 Then the crowd began to call out and request that he do just as he always did for them.
And the people clamoured and desired him to do as he always used to do for them.
9 So Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
But Pilate answered them, saying, Would ye have me release to you the king of the Jews?
10 (He knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.)
(for he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up to him out of envy: )
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
but the chief priests incited the people to desire that he would rather release Barabbas to them.
12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do to him you call ‘king of the Jews’?”
And Pilate answered, and said to them again, What then would you have me do with Him, whom ye call king of the Jews?
13 Again they shouted, “Crucify him!”
And they cried out again, Crucify Him.
14 But Pilate said to them, “But what evil did he do?” They just yelled all the louder, “Crucify him!”
But Pilate said unto them, Why, what ill has He done? And they cried out the more vehemently, Crucify Him.
15 So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and Jesus, after a flogging, he handed over to be crucified.
So Pilate being willing to ingratiate with the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered Him up to be crucified.
16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard (that is, the Praetorium) and assembled the whole garrison.
And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is called the Pretorium; and gathered their whole company together:
17 They clothed Him with purple, plaited a crown of thorns and put it on Him,
and they clad Him in purple, and platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head,
18 and began to ‘acclaim’ Him by saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
and saluted Him, saying, Hail king of the Jews;
19 They kept hitting Him on the head with a rod and spitting on Him, and kneeling down they would ‘worship’ Him.
and struck Him on the head with a reed, and spit upon Him, and bowed their knees, and did Him homage.
20 When they had ridiculed Him, they took the purple off Him and put His own clothes on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
And when they had thus abused Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put his own clothes on Him, and brought Him out to crucify Him.
21 A certain passer-by, Simon a Cyrenian (the father of Alexander and Rufus), coming in from the countryside, was compelled to carry His cross.
And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing by, coming out of the country, to carry his cross:
22 They brought Him to a place Golgotha, which is translated, ‘Place of a Skull’.
and they brought Him to a place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a scull.
23 They offered Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.
And they offered Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He would not take it.
24 After crucifying Him, they divided His clothes by casting lots for them, to see who would take what.
And when they had fastened Him to the cross, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what each of them should take.
25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.
And it was the third hour, when they fixed Him on the cross:
26 The statement of His ‘crime’ that had been written was: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
and the title of his charge was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 With Him they also crucified two bandits, one on His right and one on His left.
And they crucified two thieves with Him, one on his right hand and one on his left:
28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”
so that the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."
29 Those who passed by kept ridiculing Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Hey! You who can destroy the temple and build it in three days,
And they that passed by reviled Him, shaking their heads and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest, the temple,
30 save yourself and come down from the cross!”
and buildest it in three days, save thyself and come down from the cross.
31 Similarly, the chief priests, with the scribes, kept mocking among themselves saying: “He saved others; he can't save himself!
And the chief priests likewise scoffing at Him among themselves, with the scribes, said, He saved others, Himself He cannot save: let Christ,
32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with Him insulted Him as well.
the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in Him. And even they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him.
33 Now when the sixth hour had come [noon], darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Now at the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour.
34 At the ninth hour Jesus called out strongly, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lima sabachthani?” which is translated, “O God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani," which is being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 When some of the bystanders heard it they said, “Listen, he's calling Elijah.”
And some of them that stood by hearing it, said, Behold He calleth upon Elias.
36 Then someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a reed and started offering it to Him to drink, saying, “You let him be! ‘Let's see if Elijah is coming to take him down’!”
And there ran one, and filled a spunge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed offered it Him to drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to take Him down.
37 Then Jesus gave a loud shout and breathed out His spirit;
But Jesus cried with a loud voice and expired.
38 and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
39 Well when the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw that He breathed out His spirit after giving such a loud shout, he said, “This man really was God's Son!”
And when the centurion, that stood over against Him, saw that He expired with such a cry, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome
There were also women at a distance looking on: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 —they used to follow Him and minister to Him when He was in Galilee—and many other women who had come up with Him to Jerusalem.
who also when He was in Galilee, followed Him and waited on Him: and several others who came up to Jerusalem with Him.
42 Now when evening had come, because it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
And the evening being now come, (because it was the preparation,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member who also himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God, came and boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
or the day before the sabbath, ) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
44 Well Pilate was surprised that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion he asked him when He had died.
But Pilate wondered that He was dead already, and therefore calling for the centurion he asked him if He had been dead any time:
45 Upon the centurion's confirmation he granted the body to Joseph.
and when he heard it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 Having bought linen, he took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen and laid Him in a tomb that had been cut out of rock; then he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was placed.
And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
