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;
At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin 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].”
So Pilate questioned Him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]
Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,
4 And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!”
Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."
5 And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.
But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.
6 And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for;
Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
and at this time a man named Barabbas was in prison among the insurgents--persons who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
So the people came crowding up, asking Pilate to grant them the usual favour.
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
"Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?" answered Pilate.
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;
For he could see that it was out of sheer 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 High Priests urged on the crowd to obtain Barabbas's release in preference;
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 when Pilate again asked them, "What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?"
13 And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
they once more shouted out, "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 crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "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, wishing to satisfy the mob, released Barabbas for them, and after scourging Jesus handed Him over for crucifixion.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium), and calling together the whole battalion
17 and clothe Him with purple, and having plaited a garland of thorns, they put [it] on Him,
they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,
18 and began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live 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,
Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees.
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.
At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, 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,
One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.
22 and they bring Him to the place [called] Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “Place of [the] Skull”;
So they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which, being translated, means 'Skull-ground.'
23 and they were giving Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, and He did not receive [it].
Here they offered Him wine mixed 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. This done, they divided His garments among them, drawing lots to decide 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 was the notice in writing 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,
And together with Jesus they crucified two robbers, one at His right hand and one at 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 all the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him and said, "Ah! you who were for destroying the Sanctuary and building a new one in three days,
30 Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
come down from the cross and save yourself."
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 scoffing at Him, saying to one another, "He has saved others: 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.
This Christ, the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even the men who were being crucified with Him heaped insults on Him.
33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
At noon there came a darkness over the whole land, lasting till three o'clock 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?”
But at three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Elohi, Elohi, 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”;
Some of the bystanders, hearing Him, 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 to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."
37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
But Jesus uttered a loud cry and yielded up His spirit.
38 and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom,
And the curtain in 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.”
And when the Centurion who stood in front of the cross saw that He was dead, he exclaimed, "This man was indeed God's Son."
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 also a party of women looking on from a distance; among them being both Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James the Little 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.
all of whom in the Galilaean days had habitually been with Him and cared for Him, as well as 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,
Towards 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.
Joseph of Arimathaea came, a highly respected member of the Council, who himself also was living in expectation of the Kingdom of God. He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg 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 could hardly believe that He was already dead. He called, however, for the Centurion and inquired whether He had been long dead;
45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
and having ascertained the fact he granted 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,
He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where He is laid.
Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was put.
