Mark 15
15
Jesus Before Pilate
Mt 27:1–2, 11–14; Lk 23:1–5; Jn 18:28–38
1#Mt 27:1–2; Lk 22:66Early in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin. And they bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
2#Mt 2:2; 1Ti 6:13Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered him, “You have said so.”
3#Isa 53:7The chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing. 4#Jn 19:10So Pilate asked Him again, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You.”
5But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was astonished.
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15–26; Lk 23:13–25; Jn 18:39–19:16
6#Jn 18:39–40Now at the feast he always released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested. 7There was one named Barabbas, who had committed murder in the insurrection and was bound with the rebels. 8The crowd began crying aloud, asking Pilate to do as he had always done for them.
9He answered them, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over out of envy. 11#Ac 3:14But the chief priests stirred the people, so that he should instead release Barabbas to them.
12Pilate answered them again, “What then would you have me do to Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13They again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
14#Lk 23:41Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out even more, “Crucify Him!”
15#Mt 27:26; Jn 19:1So Pilate, resolving to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them. And when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mt 27:27–31; Jn 19:2–3
16#Jn 18:28; 19:9The soldiers led Him away to Praetorium Hall, and they called together the entire battalion. 17#Lk 23:11They clothed Him with a purple robe. And they wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, 18and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19#Mk 14:65They struck His head with a staff and spit on Him. And bowing their knees, they worshipped Him. 20When they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off of Him and put His own garments on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
The Crucifixion
Mt 27:32–44; Lk 23:26–43; Jn 19:17–27
21#Mt 27:32; Lk 23:26; Ro 16:13They compelled a man named Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing through from the country, to bear Jesus’ cross. 22#Mt 27:33–44They brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which means, “Place of a Skull.” 23#Mt 27:34They gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24When they had crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them, to decide what each man should take.
25#Mk 15:33; Jn 19:14Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26#Mt 27:37The inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27With Him they crucified two thieves, one on His right and the other on His left. 28And the Scripture was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with the lawless ones.”#Isa 53:12. 29#Ps 109:25; Mk 14:58Those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ah, You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30save Yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31Likewise the chief priests mocked Him among themselves with the scribes and said, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! 32#Lk 23:39–43; Mt 27:44Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45–56; Lk 23:44–49; Jn 19:28–30
33#Mt 27:45; Mk 15:25; Lk 23:44–45When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34#Ps 22:1; Mt 27:46; Lk 23:46And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”#Ps 22:1.
35Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Listen, He is calling Elijah!”
36#Ps 69:21; Mk 15:23One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
37#Jn 19:30; Mt 27:50But Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the spirit.
38#Lk 23:45And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39#Mt 27:54; 27:43When the centurion#Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers. who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit, he said, “Truly, this Man was the Son of God.”
40#Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55–56There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome. 41#Lk 8:2–3They also had followed Him and had ministered to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem were there.
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57–61; Lk 23:50–56; Jn 19:38–42
42When the evening had come, because it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43#Lk 2:25; 2:38Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable member of the Council, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and requested the body of Jesus. 44Pilate wondered if He were already dead. And calling for the centurion, he asked him whether He had been dead for a while. 45When he learned about it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46#Isa 22:16; 53:9So he bought fine linen, and taking Him down, wrapped Him in the linen 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#Mk 15:40; 16:1Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where He was laid.

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.
