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 bald am Morgen hielten die Hohenpriester einen Rat mit den Ältesten und Schriftgelehrten, dazu der ganze Rat, und banden Jesum und führeten ihn hin und überantworteten ihn 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 fragte ihn: Bist du ein König der Juden? Er antwortete aber und sprach zu ihm: Du sagst es.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Und die Hohenpriester beschuldigten ihn hart.
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 fragte ihn abermal und sprach: Antwortest du nichts? Siehe, wie hart sie dich verklagen!
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 nichts mehr, also daß sich auch 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.
Er pflegte aber ihnen auf das Osterfest einen Gefangenen loszugeben, welchen sie begehrten.
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 war aber einer, genannt Barabbas, gefangen mit den Aufrührerischen die im Aufruhr einen Mord begangen 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 ging hinauf und bat, daß er täte, wie er pflegete.
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: Wollt ihr, daß ich euch den König der Juden losgebe?
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 wußte, daß ihn die Hohenpriester aus Neid überantwortet hatten.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Aber die Hohenpriester reizten das Volk, daß er ihnen viel lieber den Barabbas losgäbe.
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 wiederum und sprach zu ihnen: Was wollt ihr denn, daß ich tue dem, den ihr schuldiget, er sei ein König der Juden?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Sie schrieen abermal: 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 sprach zu ihnen: Was hat er Übels getan? Aber sie schrieen noch viel mehr: 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 gedachte, dem Volk genugzutun, und gab ihnen Barabbas los und überantwortete ihnen Jesum, daß er gegeißelt und gekreuziget würde.
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 Kriegsknechte aber führeten ihn hinein in das Richthaus und riefen zusammen die ganze Schar;
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 zogen ihm einen Purpur an und flochten eine dornene Krone und setzten sie ihm 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 fingen an, ihn zu grüßen: Gegrüßet seiest du, der Juden König!
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Und schlugen ihm das Haupt mit dem Rohr und verspeieten ihn und fielen auf die Kniee und beteten ihn an.
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 da sie ihn verspottet hatten, zogen sie ihm den Purpur aus und zogen ihm seine eigenen Kleider an und führeten ihn aus, daß sie ihn kreuzigten.
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 zwangen einen, der vorüberging, mit Namen Simon von Kyrene; der vom Felde kam (der ein Vater war des Alexander und Rufus), daß er ihm das Kreuz trüge.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Und sie brachten ihn an die Stätte Golgatha, das ist verdolmetscht: 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 Myrrhen im Wein zu trinken; und er nahm's nicht zu sich.
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 da sie ihn gekreuziget hatten, teilten sie seine Kleider und warfen das Los darum, welcher was überkäme.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Und es war um 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 oben über ihn geschrieben, was man ihm schuld gab, nämlich: Ein 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 sie kreuzigten mit ihm zwei Mörder, einen zu seiner Rechten und einen zur Linken.
Da ward die Schrift erfüllet, die da sagt: Er ist unter die Übeltäter 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 vorübergingen, lästerten ihn und schüttelten ihre Häupter und sprachen: Pfui dich, wie fein zerbrichst du den Tempel und bauest ihn in dreien Tagen!
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Hilf dir nun selber und steig herab vom Kreuz!
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!
Desselbigengleichen die Hohenpriester verspotteten ihn untereinander samt den Schriftgelehrten und sprachen: Er hat andern geholfen und kann sich selber 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.
Ist er Christus und König in Israel, so steige er nun vom Kreuze, daß wir sehen und glauben. Und die mit ihm gekreuzigt waren, schmäheten ihn auch.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Und nach der sechsten Stunde ward eine Finsternis über das ganze Land bis um die neunte 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 und sprach: Eli, Eli, lama asabthani? das ist verdolmetscht: 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, die dabeistunden, da sie das höreten, sprachen sie: Siehe, er rufet den Elia!
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]!”
Da lief einer und füllete einen Schwamm mit Essig und steckte ihn auf ein Rohr und tränkete ihn und sprach: Halt, laß sehen, ob Elia komme und ihn herabnehme.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Aber Jesus schrie laut 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 an bis unten aus.
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!”
Der Hauptmann aber, der dabeistund ihm gegenüber und sah, daß er mit solchem Geschrei verschied, sprach er: Wahrlich, dieser Mensch ist Gottes Sohn gewesen!
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.
Und es waren auch Weiber da, die von ferne solches schaueten, unter welchen war Maria Magdalena und Maria, des kleinen Jakobus und des Joses Mutter, und Salome,
die ihm auch nachgefolget, da er in Galiläa war, und gedienet hatten, und viel andere, die mit ihm hinauf gen Jerusalem gegangen 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 am Abend, dieweil es der Rüsttag war, welcher ist der Vorsabbat,
kam Joseph von Arimathia, ein ehrbarer Ratsherr, welcher auch auf das Reich Gottes wartete; der wagte es und ging hinein zu Pilatus und bat um den Leichnam Jesu.
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 verwunderte sich, daß er schon tot war, und rief den Hauptmann und fragte ihn, ob er längst gestorben wäre.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Und als er's erkundet von dem Hauptmann, gab er Joseph 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 eine Leinwand und nahm ihn ab und wickelte ihn in die Leinwand und legte ihn in ein Grab, das war in einen Fels gehauen, und wälzete einen Stein vor des Grabes Tür.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Aber Maria Magdalena und Maria Joses schaueten zu wo er hingelegt ward.
