Mark Chapter 15
|
||
1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
|
||
2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
|
||
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
|
||
4 Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
|
||
5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
|
||
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
|
||
7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
|
||
8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
|
||
9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
|
||
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
|
||
11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
|
||
12 Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
|
||
13 They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
|
||
14 Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
|
||
15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
|
||
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
|
||
17 They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
|
||
18 They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
|
||
19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
|
||
20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
|
||
21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross.
|
||
22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”
|
||
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
|
||
24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
|
||
25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
|
||
26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
|
||
27 With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
|
||
28 The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”
|
||
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
|
||
30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
|
||
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.
|
||
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
|
||
33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
||
34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
|
||
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
|
||
36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”
|
||
37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
|
||
38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
|
||
39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
|
||
40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
|
||
41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
|
||
42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
|
||
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
|
||
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
|
||
45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
|
||
46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
|
||
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid. |
