Κατα Μαρκον 15
1 Καὶ εὐθὺς πρωῒ, συμβούλιον ποιήσαντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ὅλον τὸ Συνέδριον, δήσαντες τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπήνεγκαν καὶ παρέδωκαν Πιλάτῳ.
At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
2 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Πιλᾶτος, “Σὺ εἶ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων;” Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ λέγει, “Σὺ λέγεις.”
So Pilate questioned Him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.
3 Καὶ κατηγόρουν αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς πολλά.
Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,
4 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων, “Οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν; Ἴδε, πόσα σου κατηγοροῦσιν!”
Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."
5 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίθη, ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν Πιλᾶτον.
But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.
6 Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν, ἀπέλυεν αὐτοῖς ἕνα δέσμιον, ὃν παρῃτοῦντο.
Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;
7 Ἦν δὲ ὁ λεγόμενος Βαραββᾶς, μετὰ τῶν στασιαστῶν δεδεμένος, οἵτινες ἐν τῇ στάσει φόνον πεποιήκεισαν.
and at this time a man named Barabbas was in prison among the insurgents--persons who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8 Καὶ ἀναβὰς, ὁ ὄχλος ἤρξατο αἰτεῖσθαι καθὼς ἐποίει αὐτοῖς.
So the people came crowding up, asking Pilate to grant them the usual favour.
9 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν τὸν Βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων;”
"Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?" answered Pilate.
10 Ἐγίνωσκεν γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παραδεδώκεισαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς.
For he could see that it was out of sheer spite that the High Priests had handed Him over.
11 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς ἀνέσεισαν τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα μᾶλλον τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἀπολύσῃ αὐτοῖς.
But the High Priests urged on the crowd to obtain Barabbas's release in preference;
12 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἀποκριθεὶς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί οὖν ποιήσω ὃν λέγετε τὸν Βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων;”
and when Pilate again asked them, "What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?"
13 Οἱ δὲ πάλιν ἔκραξαν, “Σταύρωσον αὐτόν!”
they once more shouted out, "Crucify Him!"
14 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί γὰρ ἐποίησεν κακόν;” Οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραξαν, “Σταύρωσον αὐτόν!”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "Crucify Him!"
15 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος βουλόμενος τῷ ὄχλῳ τὸ ἱκανὸν ποιῆσαι, ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας, ἵνα σταυρωθῇ.
So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, released Barabbas for them, and after scourging Jesus handed Him over for crucifixion.
16 Οἱ δὲ στρατιῶται ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔσω τῆς αὐλῆς, ὅ ἐστιν πραιτώριον, καὶ συγκαλοῦσιν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν.
Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium), and calling together the whole battalion
17 Καὶ ἐνδιδύσκουσιν αὐτὸν πορφύραν, καὶ περιτιθέασιν αὐτῷ πλέξαντες ἀκάνθινον στέφανον,
they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,
18 καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀσπάζεσθαι αὐτόν, “Χαῖρε, Βασιλεῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων!”
and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live the King of the Jews."
19 Καὶ ἔτυπτον αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν καλάμῳ, καὶ ἐνέπτυον αὐτῷ, καὶ τιθέντες τὰ γόνατα, προσεκύνουν αὐτῷ.
Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees.
20 Καὶ ὅτε ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῷ, ἐξέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὴν πορφύραν, καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ἴδια ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐξάγουσιν αὐτὸν, ἵνα σταυρώσωσιν αὐτόν.
At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
21 Καὶ ἀγγαρεύουσιν παράγοντά τινα Σίμωνα Κυρηναῖον, ἐρχόμενον ἀπʼ ἀγροῦ, τὸν πατέρα Ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ Ῥούφου, ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ.
One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.
22 Καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Γολγοθᾶν, τόπον ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενος, “Κρανίου Τόπος”.
So they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which, being translated, means 'Skull-ground.'
23 Καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῷ, ἐσμυρνισμένον οἶνον, ὃς δὲ οὐκ ἔλαβεν.
Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.
24 Καὶ σταυρώσαντες αὐτὸν, διαμερίζονται τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, βάλλοντες κλῆρον ἐπʼ αὐτὰ, τίς τί ἄρῃ.
Then they crucified Him. This done, they divided His garments among them, drawing lots to decide what each should take.
25 Ἦν δὲ ὥρα τρίτη, καὶ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτόν.
It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified Him.
26 Καὶ ἦν ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τῆς αἰτίας αὐτοῦ ἐπιγεγραμμένη, “Ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων.”
Over His head was the notice in writing of the charge against Him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 Καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ σταυροῦσιν δύο λῃστάς, ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ.
And together with Jesus they crucified two robbers, one at His right hand and one at His left.
29 Καὶ οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν, κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγοντες, “Οὐὰ, ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ οἰκοδομῶν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις,
And all the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him and said, "Ah! you who were for destroying the Sanctuary and building a new one in three days,
30 σῶσον σεαυτὸν, καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ!”
come down from the cross and save yourself."
31 Ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, ἐμπαίζοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους μετὰ τῶν γραμματέων ἔλεγον, “Ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται σῶσαι.
In the same way the High Priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on scoffing at Him, saying to one another, "He has saved others: himself he cannot save!
32 Ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ὁ Βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμεν!” Καὶ οἱ συνεσταυρωμένοι σὺν αὐτῷ ὠνείδιζον αὐτόν.
This Christ, the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even the men who were being crucified with Him heaped insults on Him.
33 Καὶ γενομένης ὥρας ἕκτης, σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφʼ ὅλην τὴν γῆν, ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης.
At noon there came a darkness over the whole land, lasting till three o'clock in the afternoon.
34 Καὶ τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ, ἐβόησεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, “Ἐλωῒ, Ἐλωῒ, λεμὰ σαβαχθάνι;” Ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, “Ὁ ˚Θεός μου, ὁ ˚Θεός μου, εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπές με;”
But at three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Elohi, Elohi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
35 Καί τινες τῶν παρεστηκότων, ἀκούσαντες ἔλεγον, “Ἴδε, Ἠλίαν φωνεῖ.”
Some of the bystanders, hearing Him, said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah!"
36 Δραμὼν δέ τις, καὶ γεμίσας σπόγγον ὄξους περιθεὶς καλάμῳ, ἐπότιζεν αὐτόν λέγων, “Ἄφετε, ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται Ἠλίας καθελεῖν αὐτόν.”
Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."
37 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀφεὶς φωνὴν μεγάλην, ἐξέπνευσεν.
But Jesus uttered a loud cry and yielded up His spirit.
38 Καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη εἰς δύο, ἀπʼ ἄνωθεν ἕως κάτω.
And the curtain in the Sanctuary was torn in two, from top to bottom.
39 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ κεντυρίων ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως ἐξέπνευσεν εἶπεν, “Ἀληθῶς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος Υἱὸς ˚Θεοῦ ἦν!”
And when the Centurion who stood in front of the cross saw that He was dead, he exclaimed, "This man was indeed God's Son."
40 Ἦσαν δὲ καὶ γυναῖκες ἀπὸ μακρόθεν θεωροῦσαι, ἐν αἷς καὶ Μαριὰμ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ, καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ καὶ Ἰωσῆ μήτηρ, καὶ Σαλώμη,
There were also a party of women looking on from a distance; among them being both Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joses, and Salome--
41 αἳ ὅτε ἦν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἄλλαι πολλαὶ αἱ συναναβᾶσαι αὐτῷ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
all of whom in the Galilaean days had habitually been with Him and cared for Him, as well as many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.
42 Καὶ ἤδη ὀψίας γενομένης, ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον,
Towards sunset, as it was the Preparation--that is, the day preceding the Sabbath--
43 ἐλθὼν Ἰωσὴφ ὁ ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας, εὐσχήμων βουλευτής, ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν προσδεχόμενος τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τολμήσας, εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν Πιλᾶτον καὶ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
Joseph of Arimathaea came, a highly respected member of the Council, who himself also was living in expectation of the Kingdom of God. He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg for the body of Jesus.
44 Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐθαύμασεν εἰ ἤδη τέθνηκεν, καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν κεντυρίωνα, ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν εἰ ἤδη ἀπέθανεν.
But Pilate could hardly believe that He was already dead. He called, however, for the Centurion and inquired whether He had been long dead;
45 Καὶ γνοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ κεντυρίωνος, ἐδωρήσατο τὸ πτῶμα τῷ Ἰωσήφ.
and having ascertained the fact he granted the body to Joseph.
46 Καὶ ἀγοράσας σινδόνα, καθελὼν αὐτὸν, ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνήματι ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας, καὶ προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου.
He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
47 Ἡ δὲ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ, καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰωσῆ, ἐθεώρουν ποῦ τέθειται.
Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was put.
