Mark 15
1 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation with the elders, and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to Pilate;
And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
2 and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].”
And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]
And the chief priests said a number of things against him.
4 And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!”
And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.
5 And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.
But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.
6 And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for;
Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request.
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years.
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;
For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.
11 and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.
12 And Pilate answering, again said to them, “What, then, will you [that] I will do to Him whom you call King of the Jews?”
And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?
13 And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!
14 And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!
15 And Pilate, resolving to do that which [was] satisfactory to the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered up Jesus—having scourged [Him]—that He might be crucified.
And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.
17 and clothe Him with purple, and having plaited a garland of thorns, they put [it] on Him,
And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
18 and began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!
19 And they were striking Him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on Him, and having bent the knee, were prostrating to Him,
And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.
20 and when they [had] mocked Him, they took the purple from off Him, and clothed Him in His own garments, and they led Him forth, that they may crucify Him.
And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.
21 And they impress a certain one passing by—Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus—that he may carry His cross,
And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.
22 and they bring Him to the place [called] Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “Place of [the] Skull”;
And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.
23 and they were giving Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, and He did not receive [it].
And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
24 And having crucified Him, they were dividing His garments, casting a lot on them, what each may take;
And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.
25 and it was the third hour, and they crucified Him;
And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.
26 and the inscription of His accusation was written above: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they crucify two robbers with Him, one on the right hand and one on His left,
And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.
28 [[and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, “And He was numbered with lawless ones.”]]
29 And those passing by were slandering Him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! The [One] throwing down the temple, and building [it] in three days!
And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,
30 Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross.
31 And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, “He saved others; He is not able to save Himself.
In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.
32 The Christ! The King of Israel—let Him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe”; and those crucified with Him were reproaching Him.
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.
33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.
34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?” Which is, being interpreted, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?”
And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?
35 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, “Behold, He calls Elijah”;
And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.
36 and one having run, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having also put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink, saying, “Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.
38 and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom,
And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end.
39 and the centurion who was standing opposite Him, having seen that, having so cried out, He yielded the spirit, said, “Truly this Man was [the] Son of God.”
And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.
40 And there were also women beholding far off, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
41 who also, when He was in Galilee, were following Him and were ministering to Him, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 And now evening having come, seeing it was the Preparation, that is, before Sabbath,
And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who also himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God, came, boldly entered in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate wondered if He were already dead, and having called near the centurion, questioned him if He were long dead,
And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.
45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.
46 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb,
And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.
47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where He is laid.
And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.
