Mark 15
|
And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. |
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. |
And the chief priests accused him of many things. |
And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. |
But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled. |
Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. |
And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. |
And the multitude went up and began to ask him [to do] as he was wont to do unto them. |
And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? |
For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. |
But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. |
And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? |
And they cried out again, Crucify him. |
And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. |
And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. |
And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. |
And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; |
and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! |
And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. |
And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him. |
And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go [with them], that he might bear his cross. |
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. |
And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. |
And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. |
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. |
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. |
[And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors.] |
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, |
save thyself, and come down from the cross. |
In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him] among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. |
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him. |
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. |
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. |
And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. |
And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. |
And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. |
And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. |
And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom [were] both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; |
who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem. |
And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, |
there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. |
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. |
And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. |
And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. |
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses beheld where he was laid. |
