Jesus before Pilate |
|
|
 |
|
Mark 15:1
|
|
Early in the morning the chief priests with
the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation;
and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:2
|
|
Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of
the Jews?" And He *answered
him, "It is as you say." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:3
|
|
The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:4
|
|
Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do
You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!" |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:5
|
|
But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate
was amazed. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:6
|
|
Now at the feast he used to release for them
any one prisoner whom they requested. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:7
|
|
The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with
the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:8
|
|
The crowd went up and began asking him to do
as he had been accustomed to do for them. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:9
|
|
Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me
to release for you the King of the Jews?" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:10
|
|
For he was aware that the chief priests had
handed Him over because of envy. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:11
|
|
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd
to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:12
|
|
Answering again, Pilate said to them, "Then
what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:13
|
|
They shouted back, "Crucify Him!" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:14
|
|
But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has
He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:15
|
|
Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released
Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus Is Mocked |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:16
|
|
The soldiers took Him away into the palace
(that is, the Praetorium), and they *called
together the whole Roman cohort. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:17
|
|
They *dressed
Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:18
|
|
and they began to acclaim Him, "Hail, King
of the Jews!" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:19
|
|
They kept beating His head with a reed, and
spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:20
|
|
After they had mocked Him, they took the purple
robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led
Him out to crucify Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 15:21
|
|
They *pressed
into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father
of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Crucifixion |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:22
|
|
Then they *brought
Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:23
|
|
They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh;
but He did not take it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:24
|
|
And they *crucified
Him, and *divided
up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man
should take. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:25
|
|
It was the third hour when they crucified Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:26
|
|
The inscription of the charge against Him read,
"THE KING OF THE JEWS." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:27
|
|
They *crucified
two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:28
|
|
[And the Scripture was fulfilled which says,
"And He was numbered with transgressors."] |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:29
|
|
Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him,
wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple
and rebuild it in three days, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:30
|
|
save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:31
|
|
In the same way the chief priests also, along
with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, "He saved others;
He cannot save Himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:32
|
|
Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come
down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified
with Him were also insulting Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:33
|
|
When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over
the whole land until the ninth hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:34
|
|
At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud
voice, "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated,
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:35
|
|
When some of the bystanders heard it, they began
saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:36
|
|
Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine,
put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will
come to take Him down." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:37
|
|
And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His
last. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:38
|
|
And the veil of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:39
|
|
When the centurion, who was standing right in
front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the
Son of God!" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:40
|
|
There were also some women looking on from
a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less
and Joses, and Salome. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:41
|
|
When He was in Galilee, they used to follow
Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him
to Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|

|
Jesus Is Buried |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:42
|
|
When evening had already come, because it was
the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:43
|
|
Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member
of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered
up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:44
|
|
Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time,
and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:45
|
|
And ascertaining this from the centurion, he
granted the body to Joseph. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:46
|
|
Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down,
wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out
in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 15:47
|
|
Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses
were looking on to see where He was laid. |
