Mark, Chapter 15

   1: Immediately 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.
   2: Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."
   3: The chief priests accused him of many things.
   4: Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"
   5: But Jesus made no further answer, so Pilate marveled.
   6: Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
   7: There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
   8: The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
   9: Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
   10: For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
   11: But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
   12: Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
   13: They cried out again, "Crucify him!"
   14: Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
   15: Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
   16: The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
   17: They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
   18: They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
   19: They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
   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.
   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.
   22: They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."
   23: They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.
   24: Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
   25: It was the third hour, and they crucified him.
   26: The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
   27: With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
   28: The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."
   29: Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
   30: save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
   31: Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.
   32: Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him reproached him.
   33: When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
   34: At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
   35: Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he calls Elijah."
   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."
   37: Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
   38: The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
   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!"
   40: There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
   41: who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
   42: When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
   43: Joseph of Arimathaea, a member of the council of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.
   44: Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for a while.
   45: When he learned it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
   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.
   47: Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
