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;
As soon as it was down, after the high priests had conferred with the elders and the whole Sanhedrin, they bound Jesus, and took him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
2 and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].”
Pilate questioned him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" In reply Jesus said, "It is as you say."
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]
When the chief priests continued making many accusations against him, Pilate repeatedly questioned him.
4 And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!”
"Do you make no answer?" he said,
5 And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.
"See, how many accusations they are making." But Jesus no longer made any answer, at which Pilate wondered.
6 And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for;
Now at the time of the feast it was customary to release to them a prisoner, whatever one they asked for.
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
A man named Barabbas was there in prison, with some rioters who had committed murder during an uprising.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
So when the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
he asked them, "Do you wish me to release the King of the Jews?"
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;
For he recognized that it was through spite that the high priests had handed him over.
11 and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
But the chief priests incited the crowds to have Barabbas released to them, instead.
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?”
So Pilate spoke to them once more, "What them shall I do to him you call ‘King of the Jews’?"
13 And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
Then they shouted again, "Crucify him!"
14 And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
"Why, what wrong has he done?" Pilate kept saying. But they shouted furiously, "Crucify him!"
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.
So Pilate, who wished to make himself strong with the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and gave Jesus over for crucifixion, after he had scourged him.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
The soldiers then led him away into the courtyard (Praetorium), and called together the whole battalion.
17 and clothe Him with purple, and having plaited a garland of thorns, they put [it] on Him,
They clothed Jesus in purple, and plaited a crown of thorns, and placed it on his head.
18 and began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Then they began to salute him. "Hail, King of the Jews," they said.
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,
They kept striking him on the head with a rod, and spitting upon him; and on bended knee they did him homage.
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 after their sport with him, they stripped off the purple robe, and put on his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him.
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,
Simon a Cyrenian, a passer-by, who was coming from the country (the father of Alexander and Rufus), they commandeered to carry the cross of Jesus.
22 and they bring Him to the place [called] Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “Place of [the] Skull”;
So they led him to the place called Golgotha - a name which means "the place of a skull."
23 and they were giving Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, and He did not receive [it].
There they attempted to give him wine mingled with myrrh; but he refused it.
24 And having crucified Him, they were dividing His garments, casting a lot on them, what each may take;
Then they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots upon them to see what each should take.
25 and it was the third hour, and they crucified Him;
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 and the inscription of His accusation was written above: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Over his head there was written the words of the charge against him. "The King of the Jews"
27 And they crucify two robbers with Him, one on the right hand and one on His left,
Now with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand 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 the passers-by kept jeering at him, wagging their heads and saying. "Ah! you who were to ‘destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days,’ save yourself!
30 Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
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 high priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on mocking him to themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but himself he cannot save.
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.
The Christ! The King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe." They also who had been crucified with Jesus kept reviling him.
33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
At noon a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
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?”
At three o’clock Jesus cried in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
35 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, “Behold, He calls Elijah”;
When they heard this, some of the bystanders said, "Listen, he is calling for 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.”
Then a man ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, and put it on a stick, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down!"
37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
But Jesus uttered a loud cry and expired.
38 and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom,
And the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
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.”
Then the army captain, who was standing facing Jesus when he thus died, said, "in truth 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,
There were some women also watching from a distance. Among them were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jamesthe younger 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.
women who used to follow him when he was in Galilee, and minister to him; and many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him.
42 And now evening having come, seeing it was the Preparation, that is, before Sabbath,
Toward sunset, as it was the preparation (that is the day preceding 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 Arimathea, a Councilor, honorable in rank, who was himself also looking for the kingdom of God. He boldly went in to Pilate to ask 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,
But Pilate wondered whether he were already dead. So he summoned the army captain, and inquired if he had been any time dead;
45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
and when he learned the fact from the army captain he gave the body to Joseph.
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,
So Joseph bought him a sheet, and took Jesus down, wound him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and then rolled a stone against the opening of the tomb;
47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where He is laid.
and Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where he was laid.
