St Mark 15
15
1AND straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
3And the chief priests accused him in many things.
4And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.
5But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.
6Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
7And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.
8And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them.
9And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?
10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.
11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?
13But they again cried out: Crucify him.
14And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.
15And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band:
17And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.
18And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
19And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.
20And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.
21And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.
22And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.
23And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.
24And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.
29And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again;
30Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
31In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.
34And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias.
36And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down.
37And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
39And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God.
40And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:
41Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.
42And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath,)
43Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
44But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.
45And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.

Mark 15
15
1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Yeshua, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
He answered, “So you say.”
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
5 But Yeshua made no further answer, so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him. 7There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them. 9Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to 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 release Barabbas to them instead. 12Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13 They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14 Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?”
But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Yeshua, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. 17They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. 20When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross. 22They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.” 23They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
24Crucifying him, they parted his garments amongst them, casting lots on them, what each should take. 25It was the third hour#15:25 9:00 a.m. when they crucified him. 26The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 27With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”#15:28 NU omits verse 28.
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking amongst themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself. 32Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.”#15:32 TR omits “him” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
33 When the sixth hour#15:33 or, noon had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.#15:33 3:00 p.m. 34At the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” #Psalms 22:1
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”
37Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
40 There were also women watching from afar, amongst whom were both Miriam Magdalene and Miriam the mother of Jacob the less and of Yosi, and Shalom; 41who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body. 44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. 45When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47Miriam Magdalene and Miriam the mother of Yosi, saw where he was laid.
