The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 15
{15:1} Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders
and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound
Yeshua, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. {15:2}
Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
He answered, "So you say."
{15:3} The chief priests accused him of many things. {15:4} Pilate
again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify
against you!"
{15:5} But Yeshua made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
{15:6} Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner,
whom they asked of him. {15:7} There was one called Barabbas, bound
with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had
committed murder. {15:8} The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him
to do as he always did for them. {15:9} Pilate answered them, saying,
"Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" {15:10} For
he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
{15:11} But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should
release Barabbas to them instead. {15:12} Pilate again asked them,
"What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
{15:13} They cried out again, "Crucify him!"
{15:14} Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"
But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
{15:15} Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas
to them, and handed over Yeshua, when he had flogged him, to be
crucified. {15:16} The soldiers led him away within the court, which
is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. {15:17}
They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put
it on him. {15:18} They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
{15:19} They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing
their knees, did homage to him. {15:20} When they had mocked him, they
took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led
him out to crucify him. {15:21} They compelled one passing by, coming
from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus,
to go with them, that he might bear his cross. {15:22} They brought
him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The
place of a skull." {15:23} They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to
drink, but he didn't take it.
{15:24} Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting
lots on them, what each should take. {15:25} It was [1>]the third
hour,[<1] and they crucified him. {15:26} The superscription of his
accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS." {15:27} With
him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his
left. {15:28} [2>]The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was
numbered with transgressors."[<2]
{15:29} Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and
saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
{15:30} save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
{15:31} Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves
with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.
{15:32} Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, now come down from the
cross, that we may see and believe [3>]him.[<3]" Those who were
crucified with him insulted him.
{15:33} When the [4>]sixth hour[<4] had come, there was darkness
over the whole land until the [5>]ninth hour.[<5] {15:34} At the ninth
hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama
sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me?"[6]
{15:35} Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said,
"Behold, he is calling Elijah."
{15:36} One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a
reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see
whether Elijah comes to take him down."
{15:37} Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
{15:38} The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the
bottom. {15:39} When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw
that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly
this man was the Son of God!"
{15:40} There were also women watching from afar, among whom were
both Miriam Magdalene, and Miriam the mother of Jacob the less and of
Yosi, and Shalom; {15:41} who, when he was in Galilee, followed him,
and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
{15:42} When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation
Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, {15:43} Joseph of
Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking
for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked
for Yeshua's body. {15:44} Pilate marveled if he were already dead;
and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead
long. {15:45} When he found out from the centurion, he granted the
body to Joseph. {15:46} He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down,
wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been
cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
{15:47} Miriam Magdalene and Miriam, the mother of Yosi, saw where he
was laid.
