Jubilee2000 - Mark - 15

15:1  And straightway in the morning the princes of the priests having held a consultation with the elders and with the scribes and with the whole council, took Jesus away bound and delivered him to Pilate.

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

15:3  And the princes of the priests accused him of many [things].

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

15:5  But Jesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

15:6  Now at [that] feast [it was customary that] he release unto them one prisoner, whoever they desired.

15:7  And there was [one] named Barabbas, [who lay] bound with those that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

15:8  And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had always done 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 knew that the princes of the priests had delivered him for envy.

15:11  But the princes of the priests moved the multitude that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

15:12  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?

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

15:14  Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, crucify him.

15:15  And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be crucified.

15:16  And the soldiers led him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

15:17  And they clothed him with purple and platted a crown of thorns and put it about his [head]

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

15:19  And they smote him on the head with a reed and spit upon him and bowing [their] knees worshipped him.

15:20  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.

15:21  And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his stake.

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

15:23  And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received [it] not.

15:24  And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

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

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

15:27  And with him they crucified two thieves: the one on his right hand and the other on his left.

15:28  And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

15:29  And those that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads and saying, Ah, thou that would destroy the temple of God and build [it] in three days,

15:30  save thyself and come down from the stake.

15:31  Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

15:32  Let the Christ, King of Israel, descend now from the stake that we may see and believe. And those that were crucified with him reviled 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, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

15:35  And some of those that stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls Elijah.

15:36  And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar and put [it] on a reed and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.

15:37  But Jesus, giving a great cry, expired.

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

15:39  And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

15:40  There were also [some] women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome

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

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

15:43  Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble senator, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

15:44  And Pilate marvelled that he was already dead; and calling [unto him] the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

15:45  And when he knew [it] of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

15:46  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.

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