Mark 15
15
Jesus before Pilate
1Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole #Or SanhedrinCouncil, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He *answered him, “It is as you say.” 3The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly. 4Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!” 5But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.
6Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested. 7The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them. 9Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead. 12Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” 13They shouted back, “Crucify Him!” 14But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!” 15Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
16The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman #Or battalioncohort. 17They *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; 18and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19They kept beating His head with a #Or staff (made of a reed)reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him. 20After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
21They *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.
The Crucifixion
22Then they *brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24And they *crucified Him, and *divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take. 25It was the #I.e. 9 a.m.third hour when they crucified Him. 26The inscription of the charge against Him read, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27They *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28[#Early mss do not contain this vAnd the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] 29Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30save Yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. 32Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
33When the #I.e. noonsixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the #I.e. 3 p.m.ninth hour. 34At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.” 36Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” 37And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. 38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
40There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome. 41When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Is Buried
42When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. 45And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was laid.

Markos 15
15
1And as soon as it was boker, the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) with the Zekenim and Sofrim (Scribes) and [the] whole Sanhedrin, having performed the akedah (binding) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, led [him] away and handed [him] over to Pilate.#15:1 Gn 22:9
2And Pilate questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Are you the Melech HaYehudim? And, in reply, he says, You say so.
3And the Rashei Hakohanim were accusing Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [of] many things.
4And Pilate again questioned him, saying, Do you not answer anything? Look how many things they accuse you [of].
5But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach no longer answered anything, so Pilate was astounded.#15:5 Isa 53:7
6Now [at] every Chag he was releasing to them one prisoner for whom they were making bakosha (request).
7Now there was the one being called Bar-Abba, who had been imprisoned with his fellow insurrectionists and who, at the time of the Mered (Revolt, Uprising), had committed retzach (murder).
8So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them just as in the past was his custom.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you wish [that] I should release to you the Melech HaYehudim?
10For Pilate knew that because of kinah (envy) the Rashei Hakohanim had handed him over to him.
11But the Rashei Hakohanim incited the crowd that Pilate should instead release Bar-Abba to them.
12But Pilate, in reply again, was saying to them, What then do you wish [that] I should do with the one whom you call the Melech HaYehudim?
13And again they cried out, Let him be talui al HaEtz (being hanged on the Tree)!#15:13 Dt 21:23
14But Pilate was saying to them, Why? What ra'ah has he committed? But they all the more cried out, Let him be talui al HaEtz (being hanged on the Tree)!#15:14 Dt 21:23
15So Pilate, desiring to placate the crowd, released to them Bar-Abba, and handed over Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to be scourged#15:15 with the flagellum and to be talui al HaEtz#15:15 Dt 21:23 (to be hanged on the Tree).
16And the chaiyalim (soldiers) led away Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach into the courtyard, which is [the] Praetorium, the governorʼs headquarters, and they called together [the] whole cohort.
17And they clothe him in [royal] purple and place upon him a keter (crown) of thorns that they had woven together.
18And they began to greet him, Hail, Melech HaYehudim!
19And they were striking him [on] the rosh with a staff and they were spitting on him and bending their knees and bowing down before him.#15:19 Ps 22:8,17
20After mocking him, they stripped him of [royal] purple and clothed him in his garments. And they lead him out that they might make him be talui al HaEtz (being hanged on the Tree).#15:20 Dt 21:23
21And a certain Shim'on from Cyrene was passing by, who was coming in from [the] countryside. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. The chaiyalim (soldiers) requisition him in order that he carry Moshiachʼs Etz.#15:21 Dt 21:23; Isa 53:4-5
22And they bring Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a place called Gulgolta, which means, being translated, Place of the Skull.
23And they were giving to him yayin having been mixed with myrrh, but this one did not take it.#15:23 Ps 69:21 [22]; Prov 31:6
24And they hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HaEtz and YICHALLEKU VEGADAI (they divide the garments) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and VAPPILU GORAL (they cast lots) for them, to decide what each might take.#15:24 Ps 22:18 [19]
25Now it was [the] third hour when they nailed and hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HAETZ.#15:25 Dt 21:23
26And the inscription of the charge against him was inscribed above his rosh, Melech HaYehudim.
27And with him they also nailed, each to his own etz, shnei shodedim, one on [the] right, one on [the] left of him.
[28And the Kitvei Hakodesh was fulfilled, VES POSHEIM NIMNAH (and with lawless persons he was numbered).]
29And the ones passing by were reviling him and shaking their heads and saying, Ha! The one bringing churban on the Beis HaMikdash and rebuilding [it] in shlosha yamim,#15:29 Ps 22:7; 109:25
30Save yourself! Come down from the etz!
31Likewise, also, the Rashei Hakohanim with the Sofrim were also mocking him, saying, He saved others, but himself he is not able to save.#15:31 Ps 22:7
32Let the Moshiach, let Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach of Yisroel, let [him] come down now from the etz, in order that we may see and have emunah! And the ones having been hanged on the etz on either side of him were reproaching him.#15:32 Mk 8:31
33And when the sixth hour came,#15:33 high noon it became choshech over kol haaretz until [the] ninth hour.#15:33 Am 8:9
34And at the ninth hour, he cried out in a kol gadol (loud voice), Eloi, Eloi lamah sabachthani? — which means, being translated, ELI ELI LAMAH AZAVTANI? (My G-d, my G-d, why have you forsaken me?)#15:34 Ps 22:1
35And some of the ones having been standing nearby and having heard, were saying, Hinei! He calls for Eliyahu HaNavi!
36And someone having run and having filled a sponge with CHOMETZ#15:36 Ps 69:21 (vinegar), and having placed it on a staff, gave a drink to him, saying, Leave him alone. Let us see if Eliyahu Hanavi comes to take him down.
37And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having uttered a kol gadol (loud voice) and having breathed his last, expired.
38And the Parochet in the Heikhal was torn in two from top to bottom.
39And the centurion, having stood nearby opposite him, and having seen that he expired this way, said Beemes (actually, in truth), this man was the Ben HaElohim!
40And there were also nashim (women) looking on from a distance, among whom [were] Miryam from Magdala, and Miryam the Em of the younger Ya'akov and of Yosi, and Shlomit.#15:40 Ps 38:11
41They were with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Galil and they had been following him#15:41 as talmidat and serving him, and there were many other Jewish women who, with Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, had made their aliyah leregel (pilgrimage) up to Yerushalayim.
42And already, erev (evening) fast approaching, vibahlt (since) it was Preparation Day, which is the day before Shabbos,
43Yosef of Ramatayim, a member of the Sanhedrin and a man of chashivut (prominence) there, a man who was also himself looking forward to the Malchut Hashem, had the bold chozek to go into Pilate and ask for the gufat Yehoshua.
44And Pilate was amazed that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was already niftar (deceased), and Pilate summoned the centurion to question him whether Yehoshua was niftar already.
45And having found out from the centurion, he gave the geviyah (body) to Yosef.#15:45 Gn 47:18
46And having bought linen cloth tachrichim (shrouds) and having taken Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach down, he wrapped him in the tachrichim (shrouds) and placed him in a kever which had been cut from rock, and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the kever.
47And Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the Em of Yosi were observing#15:47 T.N. as chevra kadisha shomrim eye-witnesses of where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had been laid.
