Mark 15
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 marvelled * .
6. Now at that feast he released * unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired * .
7. And there was * one named * Barabbas, 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 * Barabbas 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 * Barabbas unto them, and delivered * Jesus, when he had scourged * him, to be crucified * .
16. And the soldiers led * him away * into the hall, called * Praetorium; 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.
21. And they compel * one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by * , coming * out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear * his cross.
22. And they bring * him unto the place Golgotha, 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, 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.
29. And they that passed by * railed * on him, wagging * their heads, and saying * , Ah, thou that destroyest * the temple, and buildest * it in three days,
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 * , Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?which is * , being interpreted * , My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken * me?
35. And some of them that stood by * , when they heard * it, said * , Behold * , he calleth * Elias.
36. And one ran * and filled * a spunge full * of vinegar,and put it on * a reed, and gave * him to drink * , saying * , Let alone * ; let us see * whether Elias will come * to take * him down * .
37. And Jesus cried * with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost * .
38. And the veil 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 Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41. (Who also, when he was * in Galilee, followed * him, and ministered * unto him;) and many other women which came up * with him unto Jerusalem.
42. And now when the even was come * , because it was * the preparation, that is * , the day before the sabbath,
43. Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited * for * the kingdom of God, came * , and went in * boldly * unto Pilate, and craved * the body of Jesus.
44. And Pilate marvelled * 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 Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld * where he was laid * .
