15Mark 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.Select Mark 15:1

2And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.Select Mark 15:2

3And the chief priests accused him in many things.Select Mark 15:3

4And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee.Select Mark 15:4

5But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered.Select Mark 15:5

6Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.Select Mark 15:6

7And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.Select Mark 15:7

8And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them.Select Mark 15:8

9And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?Select Mark 15:9

10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.Select Mark 15:10

11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.Select Mark 15:11

12And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?Select Mark 15:12

13But they again cried out: Crucify him.Select Mark 15:13

14And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.Select Mark 15:14

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.Select Mark 15:15

16And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band.Select Mark 15:16

17And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.Select Mark 15:17

18And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.Select Mark 15:18

19And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.Select Mark 15:19

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.Select Mark 15:20

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.Select Mark 15:21

22And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.Select Mark 15:22

23And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh. But he took it not.Select Mark 15:23

24And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.Select Mark 15:24

25And it was the third hour: and they crucified him.Select Mark 15:25

26And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.Select Mark 15:26

27And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.Select Mark 15:27

28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.Select Mark 15:28

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:Select Mark 15:29

30Save thyself, coming down from the cross.Select Mark 15:30

31In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.Select Mark 15:31

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.Select Mark 15:32

33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.Select Mark 15:33

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?Select Mark 15:34

35And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias.Select Mark 15:35

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.Select Mark 15:36

37And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.Select Mark 15:37

38And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.Select Mark 15:38

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.Select Mark 15:39

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,Select Mark 15:40

41Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.Select Mark 15:41

42And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath),Select Mark 15:42

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.Select Mark 15:43

44But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.Select Mark 15:44

45And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.Select Mark 15:45

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.Select Mark 15:46

47And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.Select Mark 15:47
