Mark 15
WEB·Mark 15
1Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
KJVAndG2532 straightwayG2112 inG1909 the morningG4404 the chief priestsG749 heldG4160(G5660) a consultationG4824 withG3326 the eldersG4245 andG2532 scribesG1122 andG2532 the wholeG3650 councilG4892, and boundG1210(G5660) JesusG2424, and carried him awayG667(G5656), andG2532 deliveredG3860(G5656) him to PilateG4091.
2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
KJVAndG2532 PilateG4091 askedG1905(G5656) himG846, ArtG1488(G5748) thouG4771 the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? AndG1161 he answeringG611(G5679) saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, ThouG4771 sayestG3004(G5719) it.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
KJVAndG2532 the chief priestsG749 accusedG2723(G5707) himG846 of many thingsG4183: butG1161 heG846 answeredG611(G5662) nothingG3762.
4 Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091 askedG1905(G5656) himG846 againG3825, sayingG3004(G5723), Answerest thouG611(G5736) nothingG3756G3762? beholdG2396 how many thingsG4214 they witnessG2649(G5719) against theeG4675.
5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
KJVButG1161 JesusG2424 yetG3765 answeredG611(G5662) nothingG3762; soG5620 that PilateG4091 marvelledG2296(G5721).
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
KJVNowG1161 atG2596 that feastG1859 he releasedG630(G5707) unto themG846 oneG1520 prisonerG1198, whomsoeverG3746 they desiredG154(G5710).
7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
KJVAndG1161 there wasG2258(G5713) one namedG3004(G5746) BarabbasG912, which lay boundG1210(G5772) withG3326 them that had made insurrection with himG4955, whoG3748 had committedG4160(G5715) murderG5408 inG1722 the insurrectionG4714.
8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
KJVAndG2532 the multitudeG3793 crying aloudG310(G5660) beganG756(G5662) to desireG154(G5733) him to do asG2531 he had everG104 doneG4160(G5707) unto themG846.
9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
KJVButG1161 PilateG4091 answeredG611(G5662) themG846, sayingG3004(G5723), Will yeG2309(G5719) that I releaseG630(G5661) unto youG5213 the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
KJVForG1063 he knewG1097(G5707) thatG3754 the chief priestsG749 had deliveredG3860(G5715) himG846 forG1223 envyG5355.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
KJVButG1161 the chief priestsG749 movedG383(G5656) the peopleG3793, thatG2443 he should ratherG3123 releaseG630(G5661) BarabbasG912 unto themG846.
12 Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091 answeredG611(G5679) and saidG2036(G5627) againG3825 unto themG846, WhatG5101 will yeG2309(G5719) thenG3767 that I shall doG4160(G5661) unto him whomG3739 ye callG3004(G5719) the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?
13 They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
KJVAndG1161 they cried outG2896(G5656) againG3825, CrucifyG4717(G5657) himG846.
14 Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
KJVThenG1161 PilateG4091 saidG3004(G5707) unto themG846, WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 hath he doneG4160(G5656)? AndG1161 they cried outG2896(G5656) the more exceedinglyG4056, CrucifyG4717(G5657) himG846.
15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
KJVAndG1161 so PilateG4091, willingG1014(G5740) to contentG2425G4160(G5658) the peopleG3793, releasedG630(G5656) BarabbasG912 unto themG846, andG2532 deliveredG3860(G5656) JesusG2424, when he had scourgedG5417(G5660) him, toG2443 be crucifiedG4717(G5686).
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
KJVAndG1161 the soldiersG4757 ledG520 himG846 awayG520(G5627) intoG2080 the hallG833, calledG3603 PraetoriumG4232; andG2532 they call togetherG4779(G5719) the wholeG3650 bandG4686.
17 They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
KJVAndG2532 they clothedG1746(G5719) himG846 with purpleG4209, andG2532 plattedG4120(G5660) a crownG4735 of thornsG174, and put it aboutG4060(G5719) hisG846 head,
18 They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
KJVAndG2532 beganG756(G5662) to saluteG782(G5738) himG846, HailG5463(G5720), KingG935 of the JewsG2453!
19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
KJVAndG2532 they smoteG5180(G5707) himG846 on the headG2776 with a reedG2563, andG2532 did spitG1716(G5707) upon himG846, andG2532 bowingG5087(G5723) their kneesG1119 worshippedG4352(G5707) himG846.
20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
KJVAndG2532 whenG3753 they had mockedG1702(G5656) himG846, they took offG1562(G5656) the purpleG4209 from himG846, andG2532 putG1746 his ownG2398 clothesG2440 onG1746(G5656) himG846, andG2532 ledG1806 himG846 outG1806(G5719) toG2443 crucifyG4717(G5661) himG846.
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.
KJVAndG2532 they compelG29(G5719) oneG5100 SimonG4613 a CyrenianG2956, who passed byG3855(G5723), comingG2064(G5740) out ofG575 the countryG68, the fatherG3962 of AlexanderG223 andG2532 RufusG4504, toG2443 bearG142(G5661) hisG846 crossG4716.
22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”
KJVAndG2532 they bringG5342(G5719) himG846 untoG1909 the placeG5117 GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 isG2076(G5748), being interpretedG3177(G5746), The placeG5117 of a skullG2898.
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
KJVAndG2532 they gaveG1325(G5707) himG846 to drinkG4095(G5629) wineG3631 mingled with myrrhG4669(G5772): butG1161 he receivedG2983(G5627) it notG3756.
24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
KJVAndG2532 when they had crucifiedG4717(G5660) himG846, they partedG1266(G5707) hisG846 garmentsG2440, castingG906(G5723) lotsG2819 uponG1909 themG846, whatG5101 every manG5101 should takeG142(G5661).
25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
KJVAndG1161 it wasG2258(G5713) the thirdG5154 hourG5610, andG2532 they crucifiedG4717(G5656) himG846.
26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
KJVAndG2532 the superscriptionG1923 of hisG846 accusationG156 wasG2258(G5713) written overG1924(G5772), THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.
27 With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
KJVAndG2532 withG4862 himG846 they crucifyG4717(G5719) twoG1417 thievesG3027; the oneG1520 onG1537 his right handG1188, andG2532 the otherG1520 onG1537 hisG846 leftG2176.
28 The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”
KJVAndG2532 the scriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137(G5681), whichG3588 saithG3004(G5723), AndG2532 he was numberedG3049(G5681) withG3326 the transgressorsG459.
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
KJVAndG2532 they that passed byG3899(G5740) railedG987(G5707) on himG846, waggingG2795(G5723) theirG846 headsG2776, andG2532 sayingG3004(G5723), AhG3758, thou that destroyestG2647(G5723) the templeG3485, andG2532 buildestG3618(G5723) it inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250,
30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
KJVSaveG4982(G5657) thyselfG4572, andG2532 come downG2597(G5628) fromG575 the crossG4716.
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.
KJVLikewiseG1161G3668 alsoG2532 the chief priestsG749 mockingG1702(G5723) saidG3004(G5707) amongG4314 themselvesG240 withG3326 the scribesG1122, He savedG4982(G5656) othersG243; himselfG1438 he cannotG3756G1410(G5736) saveG4982(G5658).
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 also insulted him.
KJVLetG2597 ChristG5547 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474 descendG2597(G5628) nowG3568 fromG575 the crossG4716, thatG2443 we may seeG1492(G5632) andG2532 believeG4100(G5661). AndG2532 they that were crucifiedG4957(G5772) with himG846 reviledG3679(G5707) himG846.
33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
KJVAndG1161 whenG1096 the sixthG1623 hourG5610 was comeG1096(G5637), there wasG1096(G5633) darknessG4655 overG1909 the wholeG3650 landG1093 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG5610.
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?”
KJVAndG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG994(G5656) with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004(G5723), EloiG1682, EloiG1682, lamaG2982 sabachthaniG4518? whichG3739 isG2076(G5748), being interpretedG3177(G5746), MyG3450 GodG2316, myG3450 GodG2316, whyG5101 hastG1519 thou forsakenG1459(G5627) meG3165?
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
KJVAndG2532 some of themG5100 that stood byG3936(G5761), when they heardG191(G5660) it, saidG3004(G5707), BeholdG2400(G5628), he callethG5455(G5719) EliasG2243.
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.”
KJVAndG1161 oneG1520 ranG5143(G5631) andG2532 filledG1072 a spungeG4699 fullG1072(G5660) of vinegarG3690, andG5037 put it onG4060(G5631) a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 himG846 to drinkG4222(G5707), sayingG3004(G5723), Let aloneG863(G5628); let us seeG1492(G5632) whetherG1487 EliasG2243 will comeG2064(G5736) to takeG2507 himG846 downG2507(G5629).
37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
KJVAndG1161 JesusG2424 criedG863(G5631) with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and gave up the ghostG1606(G5656).

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!”
KJVAndG1161 when the centurionG2760, whichG3588 stoodG3936(G5761) overG1537 againstG1727 himG846, sawG1492(G5631) thatG3754 he soG3779 cried outG2896(G5660), and gave up the ghostG1606(G5656), he saidG2036(G5627), TrulyG230 thisG3778 manG444 wasG2258(G5713) the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
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;
KJVThereG1161 wereG2258(G5713) alsoG2532 womenG1135 lookingG2334(G5723) on afarG3113 offG575: amongG2532G1722 whomG3739 wasG2258(G5713) MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, andG2532 MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 the lessG3398 andG2532 of JosesG2500, andG2532 SalomeG4539;

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
KJVJosephG2501 ofG575 ArimathaeaG707, an honourableG2158 counsellorG1010, whichG3739 alsoG2532G846 waitedG4327(G5740) forG2258(G5713) the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, cameG2064(G5627), and went inG1525(G5627) boldlyG5111(G5660) untoG4314 PilateG4091, andG2532 cravedG154(G5668) the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091 marvelledG2296(G5656) ifG1487 he wereG2348 alreadyG2235 deadG2348(G5758): andG2532 callingG4341(G5666) unto him the centurionG2760, he askedG1905(G5656) himG846 whetherG1487 he had beenG599 any whileG3819 deadG599(G5627).
45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
