Mark  


15 : 1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
15 : 2 Are you the king of the Jews? asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
15 : 3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
15 : 4 So again Pilate asked him, "Aren`t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."
15 : 5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
15 : 6 Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested.
15 : 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
15 : 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
15 : 9 Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews? asked Pilate,
15 : 10 knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
15 : 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
15 : 12 What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews? Pilate asked them.
15 : 13 Crucify him! they shouted.
15 : 14 Why? What crime has he committed? asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"
15 : 15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
15 : 16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.
15 : 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.
15 : 18 And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
15 : 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.
15 : 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
15 : 21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
15 : 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).
15 : 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
15 : 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
15 : 25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
15 : 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
15 : 27 They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left.
15 : 28
15 : 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,
15 : 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!"
15 : 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can`t save himself!
15 : 32 Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
15 : 33 At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
15 : 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
15 : 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he`s calling Elijah."
15 : 36 One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let`s see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.
15 : 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
15 : 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
15 : 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"
15 : 40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
15 : 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
15 : 42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,
15 : 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus` body.
15 : 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
15 : 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.
15 : 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
15 : 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
