15Mark 15

1And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;Select Mark 15:1

2and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say it .'Select Mark 15:2

3And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.Select Mark 15:3

4And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'Select Mark 15:4

5and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.Select Mark 15:5

6And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;Select Mark 15:6

7and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.Select Mark 15:7

8And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,Select Mark 15:8

9and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'Select Mark 15:9

10for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;Select Mark 15:10

11and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.Select Mark 15:11

12And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'Select Mark 15:12

13and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'Select Mark 15:13

14And Pilate said to them, `Why--what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'Select Mark 15:14

15and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus--having scourged him --that he might be crucified.Select Mark 15:15

16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,Select Mark 15:16

17and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him,Select Mark 15:17

18and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'Select Mark 15:18

19And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,Select Mark 15:19

20and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.Select Mark 15:20

21And they impress a certain one passing by--Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus--that he may bear his cross,Select Mark 15:21

22and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'Select Mark 15:22

23and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.Select Mark 15:23

24And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;Select Mark 15:24

25and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;Select Mark 15:25

26and the inscription of his accusation was written above--`The King of the Jews.'Select Mark 15:26

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

28and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'Select Mark 15:28

29And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!Select Mark 15:29

30save thyself, and come down from the cross!'Select Mark 15:30

31And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.Select Mark 15:31

32The Christ! the king of Israel--let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.Select Mark 15:32

33And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,Select Mark 15:33

34and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'Select Mark 15:34

35And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'Select Mark 15:35

36and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'Select Mark 15:36

37And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,Select Mark 15:37

38and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,Select Mark 15:38

39and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'Select Mark 15:39

40And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,Select Mark 15:40

41(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.Select Mark 15:41

42And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,Select Mark 15:42

43Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.Select Mark 15:43

44And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,Select Mark 15:44

45and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.Select Mark 15:45

46And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,Select Mark 15:46

47and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.Select Mark 15:47
