Mar 15:1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

Mar 15:2 And Pilate asked Him, Are you the king of the Jews? And answering He said to him, You say it.

Mar 15:3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.

Mar 15:4 And Pilate asked Him again, saying, Do you answer nothing? Behold how many things they witness against you!

Mar 15:5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Mar 15:6 And at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they desired.

Mar 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

Mar 15:8 And the crowd, crying aloud, began to beg him to do as he had always done to them.

Mar 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you desire that I release to you the King of the Jews?

Mar 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him because of envy.

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

Mar 15:12 And Pilate answered and said again to them, What then do you desire that I should do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?

Mar 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him!

Mar 15:14 Then Pilate said to them, Why? What evil has he done? And they much more cried out, Crucify him!

Mar 15:15 And deciding to do the easiest to the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Him, delivered up Jesus to be crucified.

Mar 15:16 And the soldiers led Him away inside the court, which is the praetorium. And they called together all the cohort.

Mar 15:17 And they clothed Him with purple and plaited a crown of thorns and put it around His head.

Mar 15:18 And they began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!

Mar 15:19 And they struck Him on the head with a reed, and spat on Him, and placing the knees, they bowed to Him.

Mar 15:20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him and put His own clothes on Him and led Him out to crucify Him.

Mar 15:21 And they made one who was passing by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His cross.

Mar 15:22 And they brought Him to Golgotha Place (which translated is, Place of a Skull).

Mar 15:23 And they gave Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink. But He did not take it.

Mar 15:24 And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots on them, as, to what each should take.

Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

Mar 15:26 And the inscription of His accusation was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Mar 15:27 And with Him they crucified two thieves, the one off the right, and one off the left.

Mar 15:28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, "And he was numbered with the lawless."

Mar 15:29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You razing the temple and building it in three days,

Mar 15:30 save yourself and come down from the cross!

Mar 15:31 And also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes, said to one another, He saved others but he cannot save himself.

Mar 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe. And they who were crucified with Him insulted Him.

Mar 15:33 And it being the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

Mar 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? (which being translated is, My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?)

Mar 15:35 And hearing, some of those standing by said, Behold, he calls Elijah.

Mar 15:36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. But they said, Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.

Mar 15:37 And letting out a loud voice, Jesus expired.

Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Mar 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood across from him, saw that He cried out so, and expired, he said, Truly this man was Son of God.

Mar 15:40 And also women were watching from a distance, among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

Mar 15:41 (who also, when He was in Galilee, followed Him and ministered to Him), and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Mar 15:42 And it, becoming evening already, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before sabbath,

Mar 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

Mar 15:44 And Pilate wondered if He were already dead. And calling the centurion, he asked him whether He had died already.

Mar 15:45 And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

Mar 15:46 And he bought a linen cloth, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.

Mar 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where He was laid.
