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
Handed Over to the Romans
1Right at daybreak, the ruling kohanim held a meeting to consult with the elders and Torah scholars and the whole Sanhedrin. They tied up Yeshua, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.
2Pilate interrogated Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Yeshua answers him, “As you say.”
3The ruling kohanim began to accuse Him of many things.
4Again, Pilate asked Him, “Aren’t you going to answer? Look how many charges they’re bringing against You!”
5But Yeshua did not answer, so Pilate was amazed.
6Now during the feast, he used to release to them one prisoner, anyone they were asking for.
7Now a man named Bar-Abba had been in jail with the rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.
8The crowd came up and began to request what he was accustomed to do for them.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
10For he knew that out of envy the ruling kohanim had handed Him over.
11But the ruling kohanim stirred up the crowd, so he would release Bar-Abba to them instead.
12Then answering again, Pilate said to them, “So what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
13They shouted back, “Execute Him!”
14Pilate responded, “Why? What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Execute Him!”
15Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Bar-Abba for them. And after he had Yeshua scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
16The soldiers took Him away, into the palace, the governor’s mansion called the Praetorium. And they call together the cohort of soldiers.
17They dress Him up in purple. After braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on Him.
18And they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19Over and over, they kept hitting Him on the head with a staff and spitting on Him; and kneeling down, they worshiped Him.
20When they finished mocking Him, they stripped the purple off Him and put His own clothes back on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.
Crucified as King of the Jews
21Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was coming in from the countryside. The soldiers force this passerby to carry Yeshua’s cross-beam.
22They bring Yeshua to the place called Golgotha (which is translated, Place of a Skull).
23They were offering Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He didn’t take it.
24Then they crucify Him and divide up His clothing among themselves, casting lots for them to see who should take what.
25Now it was the third hour when they nailed Him on the stake.
26And the inscription of the charge against Him was written above: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27And with Him they execute two outlaws, one on His right and one on His left.
28[footnote: Later mss. add: So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'He was counted with the sinners.' See Isa. 53:12.]
29Those passing by were jeering at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days,
30save Yourself by coming down from the stake!”
31Likewise the ruling kohanim, along with the Torah scholars, were also mocking Him among themselves. “He saved others,” they were saying, “but He can’t save Himself?
32Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the stake, so we may see and believe!” Even those executed with Him were ridiculing Him.
Death and Burial
33When the sixth hour had come, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34At the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”
35When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah.”
36Then someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a stick and was offering it to Yeshua to drink, saying, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
37But letting out a loud cry, Yeshua breathed His last.
38Then the curtain of the Temple was split in two, from top to bottom.
39When the centurion, who was standing in front of Him, saw the way Yeshua breathed His last, he said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”
40There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Miriam from Magdala, Miriam the mother of Jacob the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
41They would follow Him and serve Him when He was in the Galilee. Many other women who had gone up together with Him to Jerusalem were there also.
42Now evening had already come. Since it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before Shabbat,
43Joseph of Arimathea, a respected council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body.
44Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether Yeshua had been dead for long.
45When Pilate learned this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47Miriam from Magdala and Miriam the mother of Joses were watching where Yeshua’s body was placed.
