Mark 15

Pilate Questions Jesus

(Matthew 27.1,2,11-14; Luke 23.1-5; John 18.28-38)

1Early the next morning the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses met together with the whole Jewish council. They tied up Jesus and led him off to Pilate.

2He asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“Those are your words,” Jesus answered.

3The chief priests brought many charges against Jesus. 4Then Pilate questioned him again, “Don't you have anything to say? Don't you hear what crimes they say you have done?” 5But Jesus did not answer, and Pilate was amazed.

The Death Sentence

(Matthew 27.15-26; Luke 23.13-25; John 18.39—19.16)

6During Passover, Pilate always freed one prisoner chosen by the people. 7And at that time there was a prisoner named Barabbas. He and some others had been arrested for murder during a riot. 8The crowd now came and asked Pilate to set a prisoner free, just as he usually did.

9Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?” 10Pilate knew that the chief priests had brought Jesus to him because they were jealous.

11But the chief priests told the crowd to ask Pilate to free Barabbas.

12Then Pilate asked the crowd, “What do you want me to do with this man you say is#15.12 this man you say is: These words are not in some manuscripts. the king of the Jews?”

13They yelled, “Nail him to a cross!”

14Pilate asked, “But what crime has he done?”

“Nail him to a cross!” they yelled even louder.

15Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he set Barabbas free. Then he ordered his soldiers to beat Jesus with a whip and nail him to a cross.

Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus

(Matthew 27.27-30; John 19.2,3)

16The soldiers led Jesus inside the courtyard of the fortress#15.16 fortress: The place where the Roman governor stayed. It was probably at Herod's palace west of Jerusalem, though it may have been Fortress Antonia, north of the temple, where the Roman troops were stationed. and called together the rest of the troops. 17They put a purple robe#15.17 purple robe: This was probably a Roman soldier's robe. on him, and on his head they placed a crown they had made out of thorn branches. 18They made fun of Jesus and shouted, “Hey, you king of the Jews!” 19Then they beat him on the head with a stick. They spit on him and knelt down and pretended to worship him.

20When the soldiers had finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the purple robe. They put his own clothes back on him and led him off to be nailed to a cross. 21#Ro 16.13. Simon from Cyrene happened to be coming in from a farm, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross. Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.

Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross

(Matthew 27.31-44; Luke 23.27-43; John 19.17-27)

22The soldiers took Jesus to Golgotha, which means “Place of a Skull.”#15.22 Place of a Skull: The place was probably given this name because it was near a large rock in the shape of a human skull. 23There they gave him some wine mixed with a drug to ease the pain, but he refused to drink it.

24 # Ps 22.18. They nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes. 25It was about nine o'clock in the morning when they nailed him to the cross. 26On it was a sign that told why he was nailed there. It read, “This is the King of the Jews.” 27-28#Is 53.12. The soldiers also nailed two criminals on crosses, one to the right of Jesus and the other to his left.#15.27-28 left: Some manuscripts add, “So the Scriptures came true which say, ‘He was accused of being a criminal.’ ”

29 # Ps 22.7; 109.25; Mk 14.58; Jn 2.19. People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and shouted, “Ha! So you're the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days. 30Save yourself and come down from the cross!”

31The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses also made fun of Jesus. They said to each other, “He saved others, but he can't save himself. 32If he is the Messiah, the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross! Then we will see and believe.” The two criminals also said cruel things to Jesus.

The Death of Jesus

(Matthew 27.45-56; Luke 23.44-49; John 19.28-30)

33About noon the sky turned dark and stayed that way until around three o'clock. 34#Ps 22.1. Then about that time Jesus shouted, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”#15.34 Eloi … sabachthani: These words are in Aramaic, a language spoken in Palestine during the time of Jesus. which means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”

35Some of the people standing there heard Jesus and said, “He is calling for Elijah.”#15.35 Elijah: The name “Elijah” sounds something like “Eloi,” which means “my God.” 36#Ps 69.21. One of them ran and grabbed a sponge. After he had soaked it in wine, he put it on a stick and held it up to Jesus. He said, “Let's wait and see if Elijah will come#15.36 see if Elijah will come: See the note at 6.15. and take him down!” 37Jesus shouted and then died.

38 # Ex 26.31-33. At once the curtain in the temple#15.38 curtain in the temple: There were two curtains in the temple. One was at the entrance, and the other separated the holy place from the most holy place that the Jewish people thought of as God's home on earth. The second curtain is probably the one which is meant. tore in two from top to bottom.

39A Roman army officer was standing in front of Jesus. When the officer saw how Jesus died, he said, “This man really was the Son of God!”

40-41 # Lk 8.2,3. Some women were looking on from a distance. They and many others had come with Jesus to Jerusalem. But even before this they had been his followers and had helped him while he was in Galilee. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of the younger James and of Joseph were two of these women. Salome was also one of them.

Jesus Is Buried

(Matthew 27.57-61; Luke 23.50-56; John 19.38-42)

42It was now the evening before the Sabbath, and the Jewish people were getting ready for that sacred day. 43A man named Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to ask Pilate for the body of Jesus. Joseph was a highly respected member of the Jewish council, and he was also waiting for God's kingdom to come.

44Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, and he called in the army officer to find out if Jesus had been dead very long. 45After the officer told him, Pilate let Joseph have Jesus' body.

46Joseph bought a linen cloth and took the body down from the cross. He had it wrapped in the cloth, and he put it in a tomb that had been cut into solid rock. Then he rolled a big stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph were watching and saw where the body was placed.

Marcos 15

Sa Harapan ni Pilato

(Mt. 27:1-2, 11-14; Lu. 23:1-5; Jn. 18:28-38)

1Kinaumagahan, nagpulong agad ang mga punong pari, mga pinuno ng bayan, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, at iba pang bumubuo ng Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio. Ipinagapos nila si Jesus, at dinala kay Pilato.

2“Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?” tanong sa kanya ni Pilato.

“Ikaw na ang may sabi,” tugon naman ni Jesus.

3Nagharap ng maraming paratang ang mga punong pari laban kay Jesus 4kaya't siya'y muling tinanong ni Pilato, “Wala ka bang isasagot? Narinig mo ang marami nilang paratang laban sa iyo.”

5Ngunit hindi pa rin sumagot si Jesus, kaya't nagtaka si Pilato.

Hinatulang Mamatay si Jesus

(Mt. 27:15-26; Lu. 23:13-25; Jn. 18:39–19:16)

6Tuwing Pista ng Paskwa ay nagpapalaya si Pilato ng isang bilanggo, sinumang hilingin sa kanya ng mga taong-bayan. 7May isang bilanggo noon na ang pangalan ay Barabbas. Kasama siya sa mga nagrebelde, at nakapatay siya noong panahon ng pag-aalsa. 8Nang lumapit ang mga tao kay Pilato upang hilingin sa kanya na gawin niya ang dati niyang ginagawa, 9tinanong sila ni Pilato, “Ibig ba ninyong palayain ko ang Hari ng mga Judio?” 10Sinabi niya ito sapagkat batid ni Pilato na inggit lamang ang nag-udyok sa mga punong pari upang isakdal si Jesus.

11Ngunit sinulsulan ng mga punong pari ang mga tao na si Barabbas ang hilinging palayain. 12Kaya't muli silang tinanong ni Pilato, “Ano naman ang gagawin ko sa taong ito na tinatawag ninyong Hari ng mga Judio?”

13“Ipako siya sa krus!” sigaw ng mga tao.

14“Bakit, ano ba ang kasalanan niya?” tanong ni Pilato. Ngunit lalo pang sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ipako siya sa krus!”

15Sa paghahangad ni Pilato na mapagbigyan ang mga tao, pinalaya niya si Barabbas at si Jesus naman ay kanyang ipinahagupit, at pagkatapos ay ibinigay sa kanila upang ipako sa krus.

Hinamak ng mga Kawal si Jesus

(Mt. 27:27-31; Jn. 19:2-3)

16Dinala ng mga kawal si Jesus sa bakuran ng palasyo ng gobernador, at kanilang tinipon doon ang buong batalyon. 17Sinuotan nila si Jesus ng balabal na kulay ube. Kumuha sila ng halamang matinik, ginawa iyong korona at ipinutong sa kanya. 18Pagkatapos, sila'y pakutyang nagpugay at bumati sa kanya, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” 19Siya'y pinaghahampas sa ulo, pinagduduraan at pakutyang niluhud-luhuran. 20Matapos kutyain, hinubad nila sa kanya ang balabal na kulay ube, sinuotan ng sarili niyang damit, at inilabas upang ipako sa krus.

Ipinako sa Krus si Jesus

(Mt. 27:32-44; Lu. 23:26-43; Jn. 19:17-27)

21Nasalubong#Ro. 16:13. nila sa daan ang isang lalaking galing sa bukid, si Simon na taga-Cirene na ama nina Alejandro at Rufo. Pilit nilang ipinapasan sa kanya ang krus ni Jesus. 22Kanilang dinala si Jesus sa lugar na tinatawag na Golgotha, na ang ibig sabihi'y “Pook ng Bungo.” 23Siya'y binibigyan nila ng alak na may kahalong mira, ngunit hindi niya ito ininom. 24Ipinako#Awit 22:18. siya sa krus at saka pinaghati-hatian ang kanyang damit sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan. 25Ikasiyam ng umaga nang ipako siya sa krus. 26Isinulat sa itaas ng krus ang paratang laban sa kanya, “Ang Hari ng mga Judio.” 27May dalawang tulisang kasama niyang ipinako sa krus, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa. [28Sa#Isa. 53:12. gayon ay natupad ang sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Ibinilang siya sa mga kriminal.”]#15:28 Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang talatang 28.

29Ininsulto#Awit 22:7; 109:25; Mc. 14:58; Jn. 2:19. siya ng mga nagdaraan at pailing-iling na sinabi, “O ano? Di ba ikaw ang gigiba sa Templo at muling magtatayo nito sa loob ng tatlong araw? 30Bumabâ ka sa krus at iligtas mo ngayon ang iyong sarili!” 31Kinutya rin siya ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Sabi nila sa isa't isa, “Iniligtas niya ang iba ngunit hindi mailigtas ang sarili! 32Makita lamang nating bumabâ sa krus ang Cristo na iyan na Hari daw ng Israel, maniniwala na tayo sa kanya!”

Nilait din siya ng mga nakapakong kasama niya.

Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus

(Mt. 27:45-56; Lu. 23:44-49; Jn. 19:28-30)

33Nagdilim sa buong lupain mula sa tanghaling tapat hanggang sa ikatlo ng hapon. 34Nang#Awit 22:1. ikatlo na ng hapon, sumigaw si Jesus, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” na ang kahulugan ay, “Diyos ko, Diyos ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?”

35Narinig ito ng ilan sa mga nakatayo roon at kanilang sinabi, “Pakinggan ninyo, tinatawag niya si Elias!” 36May#Awit 69:21. tumakbo upang kumuha ng isang espongha; ito'y isinawsaw sa maasim na alak, inilagay sa dulo ng isang patpat at ipinasipsip kay Jesus. “Tingnan nga natin kung darating si Elias upang iligtas siya,” sabi niya.

37Sumigaw nang malakas si Jesus at pagkatapos ay nalagutan ng hininga.

38At#Exo. 26:31-33. napunit sa gitna ang tabing ng Templo, mula sa itaas hanggang sa ibaba. 39Nakatayo sa harap ng krus ang opisyal ng mga kawal. Nang makita kung paano namatay si Jesus, sinabi niya, “Tunay ngang Anak ng Diyos ang taong ito!”

40Naroon#Lu. 8:2-3. din ang ilang babaing nakatanaw mula sa malayo. Kabilang sa kanila si Maria Magdalena, si Salome, at si Maria na ina ng nakababatang si Santiago at ni Jose. 41Mula pa sa Galilea ay sumusunod na sila at naglilingkod kay Jesus. Naroon din ang iba pang mga babaing kasama ni Jesus na pumunta sa Jerusalem.

Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus

(Mt. 27:57-61; Lu. 23:50-56; Jn. 19:38-42)

42-43Nang dumidilim na, dumating si Jose na taga-Arimatea, isang iginagalang na kasapi ng Kapulungan. Siya rin ay naghihintay sa pagdating ng kaharian ng Diyos. Dahil iyon ay Araw ng Paghahanda, o bisperas ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, naglakas-loob siyang lumapit kay Pilato upang hingin ang bangkay ni Jesus. 44Nagtaka si Pilato nang marinig niyang patay na si Jesus kaya't ipinatawag niya ang opisyal at tinanong kung matagal na siyang namatay. 45Nang malaman niya sa kapitan na talagang patay na si Jesus, pumayag siyang kunin ni Jose ang bangkay. 46Ibinabâ mula sa krus ang bangkay ni Jesus at binalot sa telang lino na binili ni Jose. Pagkatapos, ang bangkay ay inilagay sa isang libingang hinukay sa bato, at iginulong ni Jose ang isang malaking bato sa pintuan ng libingan. 47Nagmamasid naman sina Maria Magdalena at Maria na ina ni Jose, at nakita nila kung saan inilibing si Jesus.
