Κατα Μαρκον 15
1 και ευθεως επι το πρωι συμβουλιον ποιησαντες οι αρχιερεις μετα των πρεσβυτερων και γραμματεων και ολον το συνεδριον δησαντες τον ιησουν απηνεγκαν και παρεδωκαν τω πιλατω
As soon as it was daylight, the chief priests, after holding a consultation with elders and teachers of the Law – that is to say, the whole High Council – put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
2 και επηρωτησεν αυτον ο πιλατος συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτω συ λεγεις
“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
3 και κατηγορουν αυτου οι αρχιερεις πολλα
Then the chief priests brought a number of charges against him.
4 ο δε πιλατος παλιν επηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων ουκ αποκρινη ουδεν ιδε ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
So Pilate questioned Jesus again. “Have you no reply to make?” he asked. “Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.”
5 ο δε ιησους ουκετι ουδεν απεκριθη ωστε θαυμαζειν τον πιλατον
But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
6 κατα δε εορτην απελυεν αυτοις ενα δεσμιον ονπερ ητουντο
Now, at the feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
7 ην δε ο λεγομενος βαραββας μετα των συστασιαστων δεδεμενος οιτινες εν τη στασει φονον πεποιηκεισαν
A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
8 και αναβοησας ο οχλος ηρξατο αιτεισθαι καθως αει εποιει αυτοις
So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 ο δε πιλατος απεκριθη αυτοις λεγων θελετε απολυσω υμιν τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων
he answered, “Do you want me to release the ‘king of the Jews’ for you?”
10 εγινωσκεν γαρ οτι δια φθονον παραδεδωκεισαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις
For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had given Jesus up to him.
11 οι δε αρχιερεις ανεσεισαν τον οχλον ινα μαλλον τον βαραββαν απολυση αυτοις
But the chief priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
12 ο δε πιλατος αποκριθεις παλιν ειπεν αυτοις τι ουν θελετε ποιησω ον λεγετε βασιλεα των ιουδαιων
Pilate, however, spoke to them again, “What should I do then with the man whom you call the ‘king of the Jews’?”
13 οι δε παλιν εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον
Again they shouted, “Crucify him!”
14 ο δε πιλατος ελεγεν αυτοις τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσοτερως εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον
“Why, what harm has he done?” Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously, “Crucify him!”
15 ο δε πιλατος βουλομενος τω οχλω το ικανον ποιησαι απελυσεν αυτοις τον βαραββαν και παρεδωκεν τον ιησουν φραγελλωσας ινα σταυρωθη
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
16 οι δε στρατιωται απηγαγον αυτον εσω της αυλης ο εστιν πραιτωριον και συγκαλουσιν ολην την σπειραν
The soldiers then took Jesus away into the courtyard – that is the Government house – and they called the whole garrison together.
17 και ενδυουσιν αυτον πορφυραν και περιτιθεασιν αυτω πλεξαντες ακανθινον στεφανον
They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
18 και ηρξαντο ασπαζεσθαι αυτον χαιρε βασιλευ των ιουδαιων
and then began to salute him. “Long life to you, king of the Jews!” they said.
19 και ετυπτον αυτου την κεφαλην καλαμω και ενεπτυον αυτω και τιθεντες τα γονατα προσεκυνουν αυτω
And they kept striking him on the head with a rod, spitting at him, and bowing to the ground before him – going down on their knees;
20 και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την πορφυραν και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια τα ιδια και εξαγουσιν αυτον ινα σταυρωσωσιν αυτον
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
21 και αγγαρευουσιν παραγοντα τινα σιμωνα κυρηναιον ερχομενον απ αγρου τον πατερα αλεξανδρου και ρουφου ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
They led Jesus out to crucify him; and they compelled a passer-by, Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them to carry his cross.
22 και φερουσιν αυτον επι γολγοθα τοπον ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον κρανιου τοπος
They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha – a name which means ‘place of a Skull.’
23 και εδιδουν αυτω πιειν εσμυρνισμενον οινον ο δε ουκ ελαβεν
There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.
24 και σταυρωσαντες αυτον διεμεριζον τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον επ αυτα τις τι αρη
Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
25 ην δε ωρα τριτη και εσταυρωσαν αυτον
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 και ην η επιγραφη της αιτιας αυτου επιγεγραμμενη ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων
The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, read – ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
27 και συν αυτω σταυρουσιν δυο ληστας ενα εκ δεξιων και ενα εξ ευωνυμων αυτου
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
28 και επληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα και μετα ανομων ελογισθη
29 και οι παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων και λεγοντες ουα ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραις οικοδομων
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads, as they said, “Ah! You who would destroy the Temple and build one in three days,
30 σωσον σεαυτον και καταβα απο του σταυρου
come down from the cross and save yourself!”
31 ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες προς αλληλους μετα των γραμματεων ελεγον αλλους εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι
In the same way the chief priests, with the teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery,
32 ο χριστος ο βασιλευς του ισραηλ καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου ινα ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν και οι συνεσταυρωμενοι αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the ‘king of Israel,’ come down from the cross now so that we can see it and believe.” Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus insulted him.
33 γενομενης δε ωρας εκτης σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης
At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
34 και τη ωρα τη εννατη εβοησεν ο ιησους φωνη μεγαλη λεγων ελωι ελωι λαμμα σαβαχθανι ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον ο θεος μου ο θεος μου εις τι με εγκατελιπες
And, at three, Jesus called out loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?” which means ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’
35 και τινες των παρεστηκοτων ακουσαντες ελεγον ιδου ηλιαν φωνει
Some of those standing around heard this, and said, “Listen! He is calling for Elijah!”
36 δραμων δε εις και γεμισας σπογγον οξους περιθεις τε καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον λεγων αφετε ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιας καθελειν αυτον
And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so, “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.”
37 ο δε ιησους αφεις φωνην μεγαλην εξεπνευσεν
But Jesus, giving a loud cry, breathed his last.
38 και το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απο ανωθεν εως κατω
The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 ιδων δε ο κεντυριων ο παρεστηκως εξ εναντιας αυτου οτι ουτως κραξας εξεπνευσεν ειπεν αληθως ο ανθρωπος ουτος υιος ην θεου
The Roman officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he breathed his last, exclaimed, “This man must indeed have been God’s son!”
40 ησαν δε και γυναικες απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι εν αις ην και μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η του ιακωβου του μικρου και ιωση μητηρ και σαλωμη
There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome –
41 αι και οτε ην εν τη γαλιλαια ηκολουθουν αυτω και διηκονουν αυτω και αλλαι πολλαι αι συναναβασαι αυτω εις ιεροσολυμα
all of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and give him support – besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42 και ηδη οψιας γενομενης επει ην παρασκευη ο εστιν προσαββατον
The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation day – the day before the Sabbath –
43 ηλθεν ιωσηφ ο απο αριμαθαιας ευσχημων βουλευτης ος και αυτος ην προσδεχομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου τολμησας εισηλθεν προς πιλατον και ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
Joseph from Arimathea, a councillor of good position, who was himself living in expectation of the kingdom of God, came and ventured to go in to see Pilate, and to ask for the body of Jesus.
44 ο δε πιλατος εθαυμασεν ει ηδη τεθνηκεν και προσκαλεσαμενος τον κεντυριωνα επηρωτησεν αυτον ει παλαι απεθανεν
But Pilate was surprised to hear that he had already died. So he sent for the officer, and asked if he were already dead;
45 και γνους απο του κεντυριωνος εδωρησατο το σωμα τω ιωσηφ
and, on learning from the officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
46 και αγορασας σινδονα και καθελων αυτον ενειλησεν τη σινδονι και κατεθηκεν αυτον εν μνημειω ο ην λελατομημενον εκ πετρας και προσεκυλισεν λιθον επι την θυραν του μνημειου
Joseph, having bought a linen sheet, took Jesus down, and wound the sheet around him, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock; and then rolled a stone up against the entrance of the tomb.
47 η δε μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια ιωση εθεωρουν που τιθεται
Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
