Mark 15
- 1And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
- 2And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, You say it.
- 3And the chief priests accused him of many things, but he answered nothing.
- 4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Do you answer nothing? See how many things they witness against you.
- 5But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.
- 6Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whoever they desired.
- 7And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with those who had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
- 8And the crowd crying aloud began to ask him to do as he had always done for them.
- 9But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?
- 10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
- 11But the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
- 12And Pilate answered and said again to them, What then do you want me to do to the one you call the King of the Jews?
- 13And they cried out again, Crucify him.
- 14Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out all the more, Crucify him.
- 15And so Pilate, wanting to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had whipped him, to be crucified.
- 16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
- 17And they clothed him with purple, and wove a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,
- 18And began to greet him, Hail, King of the Jews!
- 19And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit on him, and bowing their knees worshiped him.
- 20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
- 21And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
- 22And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which means, The place of a skull.
- 23And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not receive it.
- 24And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots on them, what each man should take.
- 25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
- 26And the inscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
- 27And with him they crucify two thieves, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
- 28And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was numbered with the rebels.
- 29And those who passed by insulted him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, you who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
- 30Save yourself, and come down from the cross.
- 31Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others. Himself he cannot save.
- 32Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with him insulted him.
- 33And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
- 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which means, My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
- 35And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, He is calling Elijah.
- 36And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let him alone. Let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
- 37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and died.
- 38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
- 39And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he so cried out, and died, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
- 40There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
- 41Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him, and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
- 42And now when evening had come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
- 43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honored member of the council, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
- 44And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and calling to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for some time.
- 45And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
- 46And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.
- 47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
