Mark 15:1-47 LSV

[1] And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation with the elders, and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to Pilate; [2] and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].” [3] And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.] [4] And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!” [5] And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered. [6] And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for; [7] and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. [8] And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them, [9] and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?” [10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy; [11] and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them. [12] And Pilate answering, again said to them, “What, then, will you [that] I will do to Him whom you call King of the Jews?” [13] And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!” [14] And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!” [15] And Pilate, resolving to do that which [was] satisfactory to the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered up Jesus—having scourged [Him]—that He might be crucified. [16] And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium, and call together the whole band, [17] and clothe Him with purple, and having plaited a garland of thorns, they put [it] on Him, [18] and began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” [19] And they were striking Him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on Him, and having bent the knee, were prostrating to Him, [20] and 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. [21] And they impress a certain one passing by—Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus—that he may carry His cross, [22] and they bring Him to the place [called] Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “Place of [the] Skull”; [23] and they were giving Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, and He did not receive [it]. [24] And having crucified Him, they were dividing His garments, casting a lot on them, what each may take; [25] and it was the third hour, and they crucified Him; [26] and the inscription of His accusation was written above: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.” [27] And they crucify two robbers with Him, one on the right hand and one on His left, [28] [[and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, “And He was numbered with lawless ones.”]] [29] And those passing by were slandering Him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! The [One] throwing down the temple, and building [it] in three days! [30] Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!” [31] And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, “He saved others; He is not able to save Himself. [32] The 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. [33] And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, [34] and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?” Which is, being interpreted, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?” [35] And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, “Behold, He calls Elijah”; [36] and one having run, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having also put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink, saying, “Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” [37] And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit, [38] and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, [39] and the centurion who was standing opposite Him, having seen that, having so cried out, He yielded the spirit, said, “Truly this Man was [the] Son of God.” [40] And there were also women beholding far off, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome, [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. [42] And now evening having come, seeing it was the Preparation, that is, before Sabbath, [43] Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who also himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God, came, boldly entered in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. [44] And Pilate wondered if He were already dead, and having called near the centurion, questioned him if He were long dead, [45] and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. [46] And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb, [47] and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where He is laid.
