Mark 15
1 And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.
And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests said a number of things against him.
And the chief priests accused him in many things.
4 And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.
And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.
5 But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.
But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.
6 Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request.
Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.
And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.
8 And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years.
And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them.
9 And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?
And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?
10 For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.
11 But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12 And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?
And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?
13 And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!
But they again cried out: Crucify him.
14 And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!
And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.
15 And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.
And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.
And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band:
17 And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.
18 And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!
And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
19 And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.
And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.
20 And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.
And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.
21 And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.
And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.
22 And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.
And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.
23 And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.
24 And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.
And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.
29 And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,
And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again;
30 Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross.
Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
31 In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.
In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.
Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?
And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.
And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias.
36 And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.
And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down.
37 And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.
And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
38 And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end.
And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.
And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God.
40 And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:
41 Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath, )
43 There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.
Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.
But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.
45 And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.
And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.
And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.
And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.
