Mark 15 CSB/NIV - As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

1 As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

2 So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You have said it."

2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.

3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

3 The chief priests accused him of many things.

4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, "Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!"

4 So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."

5 But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.

5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

6 At the festival it was Pilate's custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.

6 Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested.

7 There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.

7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.

8 The crowd came up and began to ask [Pilate] to do for them as was his custom.

8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

9 So Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?"

9 "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,

10 For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over.

10 knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.

12 Pilate asked them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?"

12 "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.

13 Again they shouted, "Crucify Him!"

13 "Crucify him!" they shouted.

14 Then Pilate said to them, "Why? What has He done wrong?" But they shouted, "Crucify Him!" all the more.

14 "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

15 Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard (that is, headquarters) and called the whole company together.

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.

17 They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on Him.

17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.

18 And they began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

18 And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!"

19 They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.

19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.

20 When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

21 They forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus' cross. He was Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus.

21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.

22 And they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place).

22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).

23 They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

24 Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get.

24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.

25 Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified Him.

25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.

26 The inscription of the charge written against Him was THE KING OF THE JEWS

26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.

27 They crucified two criminals with Him, one on His right and one on His left. [

27 They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left.

28 So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws. ]

28 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,

29 Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! The One who would demolish the sanctuary and build it in three days,

29 come down from the cross and save yourself !"

30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!"

30 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself !

31 In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself!

31 Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

32 Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.

32 At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

33 When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

33 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ""Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? ""--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

34 And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni ?" which is translated, " My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? "

34 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah."

35 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "Look, He's calling for Elijah!"

35 One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.

36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, and said, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take Him down!"

36 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

37 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

38 Then the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom.

38 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

39 When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "This man really was God's Son!"

39 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

40 There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

40 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

41 When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

41 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,

42 When it was already evening, because it was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

42 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went in to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

43 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.

44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died.

44 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.

45 When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.

45 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

46 After he bought some fine linen, he took Him down and wrapped Him in the linen. Then he placed Him in a tomb cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

46 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

47 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where He was placed.
