Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Und alsbald in der Frühe faßten die Hohenpriester mit den Ältesten und Schriftgelehrten und dem ganzen Hohen Rat einen Beschluß und führten Jesus gebunden hin und überantworteten ihn dem Pilatus.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Und Pilatus fragte ihn: Bist du der König der Juden? Er antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Du sagst es!
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Und die Hohenpriester brachten viele Anklagen wider ihn vor.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Pilatus aber fragte ihn abermal und sprach: Antwortest du nichts? Siehe, wie vieles sie gegen dich vorbringen!
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Jesus aber antwortete nichts mehr, so daß sich Pilatus verwunderte.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Aber auf das Fest pflegte er ihnen einen Gefangenen loszugeben, welchen sie begehrten.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Es lag aber ein gewisser Barabbas gefangen samt den Aufrührern, die im Aufruhr einen Mord begangen hatten.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Und das Volk zog hinauf und fing an zu verlangen, [daß er täte, ] wie er ihnen allezeit getan.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilatus aber antwortete ihnen und sprach: Wollt ihr, daß ich euch den König der Juden freigebe?
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Denn er wußte, daß die Hohenpriester ihn aus Neid überantwortet hatten.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Aber die Hohenpriester wiegelten das Volk auf, daß er ihnen lieber den Barabbas losgeben solle.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Pilatus antwortete und sprach wiederum zu ihnen: Was wollt ihr nun, daß ich mit dem tue, welchen ihr König der Juden nennet?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Sie aber schrieen wiederum: Kreuzige ihn!
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Pilatus sprach zu ihnen: Was hat er denn Böses getan? Sie aber schrieen noch viel mehr: Kreuzige ihn!
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Da nun Pilatus das Volk befriedigen wollte, gab er ihnen den Barabbas los und überantwortete Jesus, nachdem er ihn hatte geißeln lassen, daß er gekreuzigt werde.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Die Kriegsknechte aber führten ihn hinein in den Hof, das ist das Amthaus, und riefen die ganze Rotte zusammen,
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
legten ihm einen Purpur um, flochten eine Dornenkrone und setzten sie ihm auf.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Und sie fingen an, ihn zu begrüßen: Sei gegrüßt, König der Juden!
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Und schlugen sein Haupt mit einem Rohr, spieen ihn an, beugten die Knie und fielen vor ihm nieder.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Und nachdem sie ihn verspottet hatten, zogen sie ihm den Purpur aus und legten ihm seine eigenen Kleider an und führten ihn hinaus, um ihn zu kreuzigen.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Und sie zwangen einen Vorübergehenden, der vom Felde kam, Simon von Kyrene, den Vater von Alexander und Rufus, ihm das Kreuz zu tragen.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Und sie brachten ihn auf den Platz Golgatha (das heißt übersetzt Schädelstätte).
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Und sie gaben ihm Myrrhenwein zu trinken, aber er nahm ihn nicht.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Und nachdem sie ihn gekreuzigt hatten, teilten sie seine Kleider und warfen das Los darüber, was ein jeder bekommen sollte.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Es war aber die dritte Stunde, als sie ihn kreuzigten.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Und die Überschrift, welche seine Schuld anzeigte, lautete also: Der König der Juden.
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Und mit ihm kreuzigten sie zwei Räuber, einen zu seiner Rechten und einen zu seiner Linken.
Da wurde die Schrift erfüllt, die da spricht: «Und er ist unter die Übeltäter gerechnet worden.»
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
Und die Vorübergehenden lästerten ihn, schüttelten die Köpfe und sprachen:
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Ha, der du den Tempel zerstörst und in drei Tagen aufbaust, hilf dir selbst und steige vom Kreuz herab!
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Gleicherweise spotteten auch die Hohenpriester untereinander samt den Schriftgelehrten und sprachen: Andern hat er geholfen, sich selbst kann er nicht helfen.
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Der Christus, der König Israels, steige nun vom Kreuze herab, auf daß wir sehen und glauben! Auch die, welche mit ihm gekreuzigt waren, schmähten ihn.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Als aber die sechste Stunde kam, brach eine Finsternis herein über das ganze Land bis zur neunten Stunde.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Und um die neunte Stunde rief Jesus mit lauter Stimme: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Das heißt übersetzt: Mein Gott, mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen?
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Und etliche der Umstehenden, die es hörten, sprachen: Siehe, er ruft den Elia!
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Einer aber lief und füllte einen Schwamm mit Essig, steckte ihn auf ein Rohr, tränkte ihn und sprach: Halt! laßt uns sehen, ob Elia kommt, um ihn herabzunehmen!
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Jesus aber stieß einen lauten Schrei aus und verschied.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Und der Vorhang im Tempel riß entzwei, von obenan bis untenaus.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Als aber der Hauptmann, der ihm gegenüberstand, sah, daß er auf solche Weise verschied, sprach er: Wahrhaftig, dieser Mensch war Gottes Sohn!
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Es sahen aber auch Frauen von ferne zu, unter ihnen auch Maria Magdalena und Maria, des jüngern Jakobus und Joses Mutter, und Salome,
die ihm, als er in Galiläa war, nachgefolgt waren und ihm gedient hatten, auch viele andere, die mit ihm nach Jerusalem hinaufgezogen waren.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Und da es schon Abend geworden (es war nämlich Rüsttag, das ist der Tag vor dem Sabbat),
kam Joseph von Arimathia, ein angesehener Ratsherr, der auch selbst auf das Reich Gottes wartete; der wagte es, ging zu Pilatus hinein und bat um den Leib Jesu.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Pilatus aber wunderte sich, daß er schon gestorben sein sollte, und rief den Hauptmann und fragte ihn, ob er schon lange gestorben sei.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Und als er es von dem Hauptmann erfahren, schenkte er dem Joseph den Leichnam.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
Und dieser kaufte Leinwand, nahm ihn herab, wickelte ihn in die Leinwand und legte ihn in eine Gruft, die in einen Felsen gehauen war, und wälzte einen Stein vor den Eingang der Gruft.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Maria Magdalena aber und Maria, Joses' Mutter, sahen zu, wo er hingelegt wurde.
