ASV - Mark - 15

15:1  And straightway 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.

15:2  And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.

15:3  And the chief priests accused him of many things.

15:4  And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.

15:5  But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

15:6  Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

15:7  And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

15:8  And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them.

15:9  And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

15:10  For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

15:11  But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

15:12  And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

15:13  And they cried out again, Crucify him.

15:14  And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.

15:15  And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

15:16  And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.

15:17  And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

15:18  and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

15:19  And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

15:20  And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

15:21  And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

15:22  And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

15:23  And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

15:24  And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

15:26  And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

15:27  And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

15:29  And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

15:30  save thyself, and come down from the cross.

15:31  In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

15:32  Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

15:33  And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

15:34  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

15:35  And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.

15:36  And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.

15:37  And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

15:38  And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

15:39  And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

15:40  And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

15:41  who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.

15:42  And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

15:43  there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

15:44  And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

15:45  And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

15:46  And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

15:47  And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
