Mark 15
15
1 And immediately in the morning, after the leaders of the priests had taken counsel with the elders and the scribes and the entire council, binding Jesus, they led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate questioned him, "You are the king of the Jews?" But in response, he said to him, "You are saying it."
3 And the leaders of the priests accused him in many things.
4 Then Pilate again questioned him, saying: "Do you not have any response? See how greatly they accuse you."
5 But Jesus continued to give no response, so that Pilate wondered.
6 Now on the feast day, he was accustomed to release to them one of the prisoners, whomever they requested.
7 But there was one called Barabbas, who had committed murder in the sedition, who was confined with those of the sedition.
8 And when the crowd had ascended, they began to petition him to do as he always did for them.
9 But Pilate answered them and said, "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?"
10 For he knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the priests had betrayed him.
11 Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
12 But Pilate, responding again, said to them: "Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?"
13 But again they cried out, "Crucify him."
14 Yet truly, Pilate said to them: "Why? What evil has he done?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify him."
15 Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.
16 Then the soldiers led him away to the court of the praetorium. And they called together the entire cohort.
17 And they clothed him with purple. And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on him.
18 And they began to salute him: "Hail, king of the Jews."
19 And they struck his head with a reed, and they spit on him. And kneeling down, they reverenced him.
20 And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and they clothed him in his own garments. And they led him away, so that they might crucify him.
21 And they compelled a certain passerby, Simon the Cyrenian, who was arriving from the countryside, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to take up his cross.
22 And they led him through to the place called Golgotha, which means, 'the Place of Calvary.'
23 And they gave him wine with myrrh to drink. But he did not accept it.
24 And while crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots over them, to see who would take what.
25 Now it was the third hour. And they crucified him.
26 And the title of his case was written as: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucified two robbers: one at his right, and the other at his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: "And with the iniquitous he was reputed."
29 And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it,
30 save yourself by descending from the cross."
31 And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: "He saved others. He is not able to save himself.
32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
33 And when the sixth hour arrived, a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?" which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
35 And some of those standing near, upon hearing this, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."
36 Then one of them, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and placing it around a reed, gave it to him to drink, saying: "Wait. Let us see if Elijah will come to take him down."
37 Then Jesus, having emitted a loud cry, expired.
38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two, from the top to the bottom.
39 Then the centurion who stood opposite him, seeing that he had expired while crying out in this way, said: "Truly, this man was the Son of God."
40 Now there were also women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome,
41 (and while he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him) and many other women, who had ascended along with him to Jerusalem.
42 And when evening had now arrived (because it was the Preparation Day, which is before the Sabbath)
43 there arrived Joseph of Arimathea, a noble council member, who himself was also awaiting the kingdom of God. And he boldly entered to Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
44 But Pilate wondered if he had already died. And summoning a centurion, he questioned him as to whether he was already dead.
45 And when he had been informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 Then Joseph, having bought a fine linen cloth, and taking him down, wrapped him in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulcher, which was hewn from a rock. And he rolled a stone to the entrance of the tomb.
47 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph observed where he was laid.

Mt 27.1-2; Lk 23.1; Jn 18.28. And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate. 2#Mt 27.11-26; Lk 23.2-3,18-25; Jn 18.29—19.16. And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” 3And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.
6Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. 8And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them. 9And he answered them, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 11#Acts 3.14. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. 12And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?” 13And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 14And Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Mt 27.27-31; Lk 23.11; Jn 19.2-3. And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion. 17And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him. 18And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him. 20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

Mt 27.32; Lk 23.26; Rom 16.13. And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22#Mt 27.33-44; Lk 23.33-39; Jn 19.17-24. And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). 23And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24#Ps 22.18. And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. 26And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. 28#15.28 Other ancient authorities insert verse 28, And the scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was reckoned with the transgressors” 29#Mk 13.2; 14.58; Jn 2.19. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31#Ps 22.7-8. So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last. 38#Heb 10.19-20.
