| 15 | Mark | ||
| 1 | And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate. | ||
| 2 | And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." | Jesus before Pilate Mk.15.1-5 (Jerusalem) -[ Mk.15.1-5 → ] - Mt.27.11-14, Lk.23.1-5, Jn.18.28-38 | |
| 3 | And the chief priests accused him of many things. | ||
| 4 | And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you." | ||
| 5 | But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered. | ||
| 6 | Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. | Jesus Sentenced to Die Mk.15.6-15 (Jerusalem) -[ Mk.15.6-15 → ] - Mt.27.15-26, Lk.23.13-25, Jn.18.39-19.16 | |
| 7 | And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. | ||
| 8 | And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them. | ||
| 9 | And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" | ||
| 10 | For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. | ||
| 11 | But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. | ||
| 12 | And Pilate again said to them, "Then what to do with the man the King of the Jews?" | ||
| 13 | And they cried out again, "Crucify him." | ||
| 14 | And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him." | ||
| 15 | So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. | ||
| 16 | And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion. | The Soldiers Mock Jesus Mk.15.16-20 (Jerusalem) -[ Mk.15.16-20 → ] - Mt.27.27-31, Jn.19.2-3 | |
| 17 | And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him. | ||
| 18 | And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" | ||
| 19 | And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him. | ||
| 20 | And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. | ||
| 21 | And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. | The Crucifixion of Jesus Mk.15.21-32 (Golgotha) -[ Mk.15.21-32 → ] - Mt.27.32-44, Lk.23.26-43, Jn.19.17-27 | |
| 22 | And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). | ||
| 23 | And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. | ||
| 24 | And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. | - divided his garments among them . Mk.15.24 - Ps.22.18 | |
| 25 | And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. | ||
| 26 | And the inscription of the charge against him read, THE KING OF THE JEWS. | ||
| 27 | And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, | - You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days Mk.15.29 - Ps.22.7 | |
| 30 | save yourself, and come down from the cross!" | ||
| 31 | So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. | ||
| 32 | Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him. | ||
| 33 | And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. | The Death of Jesus Mk.15.33-41 (Golgotha) -[ Mk.15.33-41 → ] - Mt.27.45-56, Lk.23.44-49, Jn.19.28-30 | |
| 34 | And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Elo-i, Elo-i, lama sabach-thani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" | - My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mk.15.34 - Ps.22.1, Ps.109.25 | |
| 35 | And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah." | ||
| 36 | And one ran filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." | - And one ran [and,] filling a sponge full of vinegar Mk.15.36 - Ps.69.21 | |
| 37 | And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last. | ||
| 38 | And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. | ||
| 39 | And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" | ||
| 40 | There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome, | ||
| 41 | who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. | ||
| 42 | And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, | The Burial of Jesus Mk.15.42-47 (the garden) -[ Mk.15.42-47 → ] - Mt.27.57-61, Lk.23.50-56, Jn.19.38-42 | |
| 43 | Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. | ||
| 44 | And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. | ||
| 45 | And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. | ||
| 46 | And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. | ||
| 47 | Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. | ||
