Marqos (Mark) 15
15
1And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests had a council meeting with the elders and scribes and all the council. Having bound יהושע, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
2And Pilate asked Him, “Are You the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim?” And He answering, said to him, “You say it.”
3And the chief priests accused Him of much, but He made no answer.
4And Pilate again asked Him, saying, “Have You no answer? See how much they witness against You!”
5But יהושע still gave no answer, so that Pilate marvelled.
6And at a festival he released to them one prisoner, whomever they were asking.
7And there was one called Barabba, chained with his fellow rebels, who had committed murder in the uprising.
8And the crowd, crying aloud, began to ask, as he had always done for them.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you wish me to release for you the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim?”
10For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
11And the chief priests stirred up the crowd, that he should rather release Barabba to them.
12And Pilate answered and again said to them, “What then do you wish me to do to Him whom you call the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim?”
13And again they cried out, “Impale Him!”
14And Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” And they vehemently cried out, “Impale Him!”
15And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabba to them, and having whipped Him, he delivered יהושע over to be impaled.
16And the soldiers led Him away into the court, which is the palace, and they called together the entire company of soldiers,
17and decked Him with purple. And they plaited a crown of thorns, put it on Him,
18and they began to call out to Him, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!”
19And they kept beating Him on the head with a reed and were spitting on Him. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Him.
20And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, and put His own garments on Him, and led Him out to impale Him.
21And they compelled a passer-by, Shim‛on, a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His stake.
22And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
23And they were giving Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.
24And when they impaled Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them,# Psa. 22:18 what each one should take.
25And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him.
26And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YEHUḎIM.
27And with Him they impaled two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.
28And the Scripture was filled which says,“And He was reckoned with the lawless.”# Isa. 53:12
29And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads# Psa. 22:7 and saying, “Ah! You who destroy the Dwelling Place and build it in three days,
30save Yourself, and come down from the stake!”
31And likewise the chief priests and the scribes, mocking to one another said, “He saved others, He is unable to save Himself.
32The Messiah? The Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl? Come down now from the stake, so that we see and believe. And those who were impaled with Him were reproaching Him.
33And when the sixth hour came, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
34And at the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Ěli, Ěli, lamah sheḇaqtani?”#In Hebrew - “Eli, Eli lamah azaḇtani” - as per Psa. 22:1 which is translated,“My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”# Psa. 22:1
35And some of those standing by, when they heard it, said, “See, He is calling for Ěliyahu!”
36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink,# Psa. 69:21 saying, “Leave Him, let us see if Ěliyahu does come to take Him down.”
37And יהושע cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38And the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom.
39And when the captain, who was standing opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of Elohim!”
40And there were also women watching from a distance, among whom was also Miryam from Maḡdala, and Miryam the mother of Ya‛aqoḇ the Less and of Yosĕph, and Shelomah,
41who also followed Him and attended Him when He was in Galil, and many other women who came up with Him to Yerushalayim.
42And when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43Yosĕph of Ramathayim, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the reign of Elohim, came, boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of יהושע.
44But Pilate wondered whether He was already dead, so summoning the captain, he asked him if He was already dead.
45And when he learned this from the captain, he gave the body to Yosĕph.
46And he, having 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 entrance of the tomb.
47And Miryam from Maḡdala, and Miryam the mother of Yosĕph, saw where He was laid.

Mark 15
15
Jesus Before Pilate
1Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
2“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3The chief priests accused him of many things. 4So again Pilate asked him, “Arenʼt you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
6Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, 10knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
12“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13“Crucify him!” they shouted.
14“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
16The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
21A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
25It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.
27They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. 28#15:28 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Luke 22:37. 29Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he canʼt save himself! 32Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus
33At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).#15:34 Psalm 22:1
35When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, heʼs calling Elijah.”
36Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Letʼs see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
38The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,#15:39 Some manuscripts saw that he died with such a cry he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
40Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,#15:40 Greek Joses, a variant of Joseph; also in verse 47 and Salome. 41In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
The Burial of Jesus
42It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesusʼ body. 44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
