< Mark 15 >

1 Early the next morning, the chief priest, elders, and religious teachers—the whole governing council—came to a decision. They had Jesus bound and sent him to be handed over to Pilate.
ⲁ̅ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲛϩ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ.
2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
3 The chief priests kept on making many accusations against him.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
4 Pilate questioned him again, “Aren't you going to answer? See how many charges they're bringing against you!”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲏⲣ.
5 But Jesus didn't give any more answers, much to Pilate's surprise.
ⲉ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ.
6 Now it was Pilate's custom at the Passover feast to release a prisoner to the people, whoever they requested.
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁϣⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥϭⲏⲡ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
7 One of the prisoners was a man called Barabbas who belonged to a group of rebels who had committed murder during an uprising.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲉϥϭⲏⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁ. ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁⲍⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲫⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
8 The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner following his usual custom.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϥⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the King of Jews?” he asked them,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈
10 for he realized that it was because of their jealousy of Jesus that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲃ̅ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
12 “Then what should I do with the one you call the King of the Jews?” he asked them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted back.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲥxⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted back even louder.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅
15 Wanting to please the mob, Pilate released Barabbas to them. First he had Jesus flogged and then handed him over to be crucified.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲣⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲉⲗⲗⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥxⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
16 The soldiers took him away into the Praetorium courtyard, where they called out the whole cohort.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅
17 They put royal purple robes on him and made a crown of thorns that they placed on him.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲗⲁⲙⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ϫⲏϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ
18 Then they saluted him, saying, “Hail King of the Jews!”

19 They repeatedly beat him around the head with a rod, spat at him, and fell on their knees before him as if in worship.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϣ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫⲧⲁϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲗ̅ϫⲛⲉⲩⲡⲁⲧ ϩⲓϩⲏ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲛⲁϥ.
20 After they finished mocking him, they took off the purple robes, and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to be crucified.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲗⲁⲙⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ϫⲏϭⲉ. ⲁⲩϯⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥxⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
21 They forced a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the countryside, to carry his cross. Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲕⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲕⲩⲣⲏⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲱϣⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲉⲝⲁⲛⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲣⲟⲩⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉϥⲓⲡⲉϥⲥxⲟⲥ
22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means “the Place of the Skull.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲅⲟⲗⲅⲟⲑⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲧⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛⲓⲟⲛ
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.

24 Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, and threw dice to decide who would have what.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲥxⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϣⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϥⲓⲟⲩ
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲡ̅ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥxⲟ̅ⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ
26 A sign with the written charge against him read: “The King of the Jews.”

27 They crucified two criminals with him, one on his left and one on his right.

ⲕ̅ⲏ̅
29 People passing by shouted insults at him, shaking their heads, and saying. “Aha! You who claimed you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days;

31 Likewise the chief priests and the religious teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but he can't save himself.

32 If he really is the Messiah, the King of Israel, then why doesn't he come down from the cross so we can see and believe!” Even those who were crucified with him insulted him.

34 At three o'clock Jesus cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani,” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

36 One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it on a stick, and tried to give it to Jesus to drink. “Leave him alone,” he said. “Let's see if Elijah will come to take him down.”

41 They had followed Jesus and had taken care of him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come with him to Jerusalem were also there.

43 Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the governing council who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, had the courage to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body.

44 Pilate was surprised that Jesus had died so soon, so he summoned the centurion and asked him if Jesus had already died.

46 Joseph bought a linen sheet. Then he took Jesus' body down from the cross and wrapped it in the sheet, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of rock. Then he rolled a heavy stone up against the entrance.
