Mark 15
15
1And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. 3And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. 5But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marveled. 6Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. 9And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.
15And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 16And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 17And they clothe him with purple, and plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; 18and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19And they smote his head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him. 21And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
22And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. 25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.#15.27 Many ancient authorities insert ver. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was redeemed with transgressors. See Luke 22.37 29And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. 36And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. 37And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 39And when the centurion, which stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honourable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

Mark (Mrk) 15
15
1As soon as it was morning, the head cohanim held a council meeting with the elders, the Torah-teachers and the whole Sanhedrin. Then they put Yeshua in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 2Pilate put this question to him: “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “The words are yours.” 3The head cohanim too made accusations against him, 4and Pilate again inquired of him, “Aren’t you going to answer? Look how many charges they are making against you!” 5But Yeshua made no further response, to Pilate’s amazement.
6Now during a festival, Pilate used to set free one prisoner, whomever the crowd requested. 7There was in prison among the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection a man called Bar-Abba. 8When the crowd came up and began asking Pilate to do for them what he usually did, 9he asked them, “Do you want me to set free for you the ‘King of the Jews’?” 10For it was evident to him that it was out of jealousy that the head cohanim had handed him over. 11But the head cohanim stirred up the crowd to have him release Bar-Abba for them instead. 12Pilate again said to them, “Then what should I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13They shouted back, “Put him to death on the stake!” 14He asked, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they only shouted louder, “Put him to death on the stake!” 15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, set Bar-Abba free for them; but he had Yeshua whipped and then handed him over to be executed on the stake.
16The soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the headquarters building) and called together the whole battalion. 17They dressed him in purple and wove thorn branches into a crown, which they put on him. 18Then they began to salute him, “Hail to the King of the Jews!” 19They hit him on the head with a stick, spat on him and kneeled in mock worship of him. 20When they had finished ridiculing him, they took off the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him and led him away to be nailed to the execution-stake.
21A certain man from Cyrene, Shim‘on, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country; and they forced him to carry the stake. 22They brought Yeshua to a place called Gulgolta (which means “place of a skull”), 23and they gave him wine spiced with myrrh, but he didn’t take it. 24Then they nailed him to the execution-stake; and they divided his clothes among themselves, throwing dice to determine what each man should get. 25It was nine in the morning when they nailed him to the stake. 26Over his head, the written notice of the charge against him read,
THE KING OF THE JEWS
27On execution-stakes with him they placed two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. 28 29People passing by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? 30Save yourself and come down from the stake!” 31Likewise, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself!” 32and, “So he’s the Messiah, is he? The King of Isra’el? Let him come down now from the stake! If we see that, then we’ll believe him!” Even the men nailed up with him insulted him.
33At noon, darkness covered the whole Land until three o’clock in the afternoon. 34At three, he uttered a loud cry, “Elohi! Elohi! L’mah sh’vaktani?” (which means, “My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?”) 35On hearing this, some of the bystanders said, “Look! He’s calling for Eliyahu!” 36One ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink. “Wait!” he said, “Let’s see if Eliyahu will come and take him down.” 37But Yeshua let out a loud cry and gave up his spirit. 38And the parokhet in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39When the Roman officer who stood facing him saw the way he gave up his spirit, he said, “This man really was a son of God!”
40There were women looking on from a distance; among them were Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of the younger Ya‘akov and of Yosi, and Shlomit. 41These women had followed him and helped him when he was in the Galil. And many other women were there who had come up with him to Yerushalayim.
42Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before a Shabbat), as evening approached, 43Yosef of Ramatayim, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who himself was also looking forward to the Kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. 44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead, so he summoned the officer and asked him if he had been dead awhile. 45After he had gotten confirmation from the officer that Yeshua was dead, he granted Yosef the corpse. 46Yosef purchased a linen sheet; and after taking Yeshua down, he wrapped him in the linen sheet, laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. 47Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the mother of Yosi saw where he had been laid.
