Mark 15

Jesus Faces Pilate
1Immediately, #Ps. 2:2; Matt. 27:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1; John 18:28; Acts 3:13; 4:26in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and #Luke 18:32; Acts 3:13delivered Him to Pilate. 2#Matt. 27:11–14; Luke 23:2, 3; John 18:29–38Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”
3And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He #Is. 53:7; John 19:9; Acts 8:32answered nothing. 4#Matt. 27:13Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!” 5#Ps. 38:13, 14; Is. 53:7; John 19:9But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
Taking the Place of Barabbas
6Now #Matt. 27:15–26; Luke 23:18–25; John 18:39—19:16at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. 7And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. 8Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. 9But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
11But #Matt. 27:20; Acts 3:14the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the #Ps. 2:6; (Is. 9:7); Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Mic. 5:2King of the Jews?”
13So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”
14Then Pilate said to them, “Why, #Is. 53:9; John 8:46; 1 Pet. 2:21–23what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”
15#Is. 50:6; Matt. 27:26; Mark 10:34; John 19:1, 16So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be #(Is. 53:8)crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
16#Matt. 27:27–31Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19Then they #(Is. 50:6; 52:14; 53:5); Mic. 5:1; Mark 14:65struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20And when they had #Ps. 35:16; 69:19; Is. 53:3; Matt. 20:19; Mark 10:34; Luke 22:63; 23:11mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
The King on a Cross
21#Matt. 27:32; Luke 23:26Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. 22#Matt. 27:33–44; Luke 23:33–43; John 19:17–24; Heb. 13:12And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23#Ps. 69:21; Matt. 27:34Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24And when they crucified Him, #Ps. 22:18; Luke 23:34; John 19:23they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.
25Now #Matt. 27:45; Luke 23:44; John 19:14it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26And #Matt. 27:37; John 19:19the inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27#Is. 53:9, 12; Matt. 27:38; Luke 22:37With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, #Is. 53:12; Luke 22:37“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”
29And #Ps. 22:6, 7; 69:7those who passed by blasphemed Him, #Ps. 109:25wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! #Mark 14:58; John 2:19–21You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31Likewise the chief priests also, #Luke 18:32mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved #Luke 7:14, 15; John 11:43, 44others; Himself He cannot save. 32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.”
Even #Amos 8:9; Matt. 27:44; Luke 23:39those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.
Jesus Dies on the Cross
33Now #Matt. 27:45–56; Luke 23:44–49when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, #Ps. 22:1; Matt. 27:46“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
35Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36Then #Matt. 27:48; John 19:29someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and #Ps. 69:21offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
37#Dan. 9:26; Zech. 11:10, 11; Matt. 27:50; Mark 8:31; Luke 23:46; John 19:30And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38Then #Ex. 26:31–33; Matt. 27:51; Luke 23:45the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39So #Matt. 27:54; Luke 23:47when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
40#Matt. 27:55; Luke 23:49; John 19:25There were also women looking on #Ps. 38:11from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41who also #Luke 8:2, 3followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb
42#Matt. 27:57–61; Luke 23:50–56; John 19:38–42Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who #Matt. 27:57; Luke 2:25, 38; 23:51; John 19:38was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46#Is. 53:9; Matt. 27:59, 60; Luke 23:53; John 19:40Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed 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.
