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, nachdem die Hohenpriester mit den Aeltesten und den Schriftgelehrten und das ganze Synedrium Beschluß gefaßt hatten, banden sie Jesus, führten ihn ab und überlieferten ihn an 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 befragte ihn: bist du der König der Juden? er aber antwortete ihm: du sagst es.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Und die Hohenpriester brachten viele Klagen gegen 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 befragte ihn wiederum: antwortest du nichts? siehe, was sie alles 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 gar 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.
Auf das Fest aber pflegte er ihnen einen Gefangenen frei zu geben, welchen sie sich ausbaten.
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 der mit Namen Barabbas in Fesseln mit den Aufrührern, die beim Aufruhr Mord verübt 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 fieng an zu fordern, wie er ihnen sonst that.
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: wollet 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 erkannte, daß ihn die Hohenpriester aus Neid überliefert hatten.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Die Hohenpriester aber wiegelten die Menge auf, daß er ihnen lieber den Barabbas freigeben 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 aber antwortete ihnen wieder: was wollt ihr denn, daß ich mit dem thue, den ihr den König der Juden nennt?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Sie aber schrien wieder: 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 aber sagte zu ihnen: was hat er denn Böses gethan? sie aber schrien nur lauter: 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}.
Pilatus aber wollte das Volk befriedigen, und ließ ihnen den Barabbas los, den Jesus aber ließ er geißeln, und lieferte ihn aus zur Kreuzigung.
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 Soldaten aber führten ihn ab, hinein in den Hof, nämlich das Prätorium, und rufen die ganze Cohorte 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].
und ziehen ihm einen Purpur an, flechten einen Dornenkranz und setzen ihm denselben 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 fiengen 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 ihm mit einem Rohr auf den Kopf, und spien ihn an, und huldigten ihm mit Kniebeugen.
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 ihren Spott mit ihm getrieben, zogen sie ihm den Purpur aus und seine eigenen Kleider an. Und sie führen ihn hinaus, 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 nötigten einen Vorübergehenden, Simon von Kyrene, der vom Felde kam, den Vater des Alexander und Rufus, sein Kreuz zu tragen,
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
und bringen ihn an den Platz Golgotha, was übersetzt heißt: 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 Wein mit Myrrhen: er aber nahm es nicht an.
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 sie kreuzigten ihn, und verteilen seine Kleider, indem sie das Los darüber warfen, was einer bekommen solle.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Es war aber die dritte Stunde, da 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 es war die Inschrift seiner Schuld angeschrieben: 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 ihm zur Rechten und einen zur Linken.
Und es ward die Schrift erfüllt: und er ward unter die Uebeltäter gerechnet.
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, indem sie die Köpfe schüttelten und sagten: Ha! der den Tempel abbricht und in drei Tagen aufbaut,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
hilf dir selbst und steige herunter vom Kreuze.
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!
Ebenso auch die Hohenpriester spotteten unter einander nebst den Schriftgelehrten und sagten: anderen 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! jetzt steige herunter vom Kreuze, das wir es sehen und glauben. Auch seine Mitgekreuzigten schmähten ihn.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Und als die sechste Stunde gekommen, brach eine Finsternis ein 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 laut: 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 Dabeistehenden, da sie es hörten, sagten: siehe, er ruft den Elias.
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]!”
Es lief aber einer und füllte einen Schwamm mit Essig, steckte ihn auf ein Rohr und gab ihm zu trinken mit den Worten: wartet, wir wollen sehen, ob Elias kommt, ihn herabzuholen.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Jesus aber that einen lauten Schrei 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 zerriß in zwei Stücke von oben bis unten.
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!”
Da aber der Hauptmann sah, der dabei stand ihm gegenüber, daß er auf diese Weise verschied, sagte er: dieser Mensch war wahrhaftig 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 waren aber auch Frauen da, die von ferne zuschauten, darunter Maria von Magdala, und Maria die Tochter des Jakobus des kleinen, die Mutter des Joses, und Salome,
die ihm, so lange er in Galiläa war, nachfolgten und ihm dienten, und noch andere viele, die mit ihm nach Jerusalem hinaufgegangen 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 als es schon Abend geworden, da es Rüsttag war, das heißt der Tag vor dem Sabbat,
kam Josef von Arimathäa, ein edler Rathsherr, der selbst auch auf das Reich Gottes wartete, und wagte es bei Pilatus einzutreten und um den Leichnam Jesus zu bitten.
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, ob er denn schon tot sei, und rief den Hauptmann herbei, und befragte ihn, ob er schon länger gestorben sei;
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
und wie er es von dem Hauptmann erfuhr, gewährte er dem Josef 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 er kaufte Leinwand, nahm ihn herab, wickelte ihn in die Leinwand, und legte ihn in ein Grab, das aus einem Felsen gebrochen war, und wälzte einen Stein an die Thüre des Grabes.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Die Maria von Magdala aber und die Maria des Jakobus Tochter schauten zu, wo er beigesetzt wurde.
