Mark 15
Jesus before Pilate |
Mt. 27.12, 11-14 · Lk. 23.1-5 · Joh. 18.28-38 |
1 |
And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
|
2 |
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
|
3 |
And the chief priests accused him of many things; but he answered nothing.
|
4 |
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
|
5 |
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled.
|
Jesus Sentenced to Die |
Mt. 27.15-31 · Lk. 23.13-25 · Joh. 18.38--19.16 |
6 |
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
|
7 |
And there was one named Barab'bas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
|
8 |
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
|
9 |
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
|
10 |
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
|
11 |
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barab'bas unto them.
|
12 |
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
|
13 |
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
|
14 |
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
|
15 |
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barab'bas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
|
16 |
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Preto'ri-um; and they call together the whole band.
|
17 |
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
|
18 |
and began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
|
19 |
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
|
20 |
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
|
The Crucifixion |
Mt. 27.32-56 · Lk. 23.26-49 · Joh. 19.17-30 |
21 |
And they compel one Simon a Cyre'nian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, Rom. 16.13 to bear his cross.
|
22 |
And they bring him unto the place Gol'gotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
|
23 |
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
|
24 |
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, Ps. 22.18 what every man should take.
|
25 |
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
|
26 |
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|
27 |
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
|
28 |
And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Is. 53.12
|
29 |
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, Ps. 22.7 ; 109.25 and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, Mk. 14.58 · Joh. 2.19
|
30 |
save thyself, and come down from the cross.
|
31 |
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
|
32 |
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
|
33 |
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
34 |
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, E'lo-i, E'lo-i, lama sabach'thani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Ps. 22.1
|
35 |
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Eli'jah.
|
36 |
And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, Ps. 69.21 saying, Let alone; let us see whether Eli'jah will come to take him down.
|
37 |
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
|
38 |
And the veil Ex. 26.31-33 of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
|
39 |
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
|
40 |
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salo'me;
|
41 |
who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; Lk. 8.2, 3 and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
|
The Burial of Jesus |
Mt. 27.57-61 · Lk. 23.50-56 · Joh. 19.38-42 |
42 |
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
|
43 |
Joseph of Arimathe'a, an honorable counselor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
|
44 |
And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
|
45 |
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
|
46 |
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
|
47 |
And Mary Mag'dalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
