Mark 15

Common English Bible CEB

1 At daybreak, the chief priests—with the elders, legal experts, and the whole Sanhedrin—formed a plan. They bound Jesus, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate.

2 Pilate questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "That's what you say."

3 The chief priests were accusing him of many things.

4 Pilate asked him again, "Aren't you going to answer? What about all these accusations?"

5 But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate marveled.

6 During the festival, Pilate released one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

7 A man named Barabbas was locked up with the rebels who had committed murder during an uprising.

8 The crowd pushed forward and asked Pilate to release someone, as he regularly did.

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

10 He knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of jealousy.

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

12 Pilate replied, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"

13 They shouted back, "Crucify him!"

14 Pilate said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done?" They shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

15 Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, so he released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus whipped, then handed him over to be crucified.

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the courtyard of the palace known as the governor's headquarters, and they called together the whole company of soldiers.

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

18 They saluted him, "Hey! King of the Jews!"

19 Again and again, they struck his head with a stick. They spit on him and knelt before him to honor him.

20 When they finished mocking him, they stripped him of the purple robe and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

21 Simon, a man from Cyrene, Alexander and Rufus' father, was coming in from the countryside. They forced him to carry his cross.

22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means Skull Place.

23 They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he didn't take it.

24 They crucified him. They divided up his clothes, drawing lots for them to determine who would take what.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

26 The notice of the formal charge against him was written, "The king of the Jews."

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

29 People walking by insulted him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha! So you were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, were you?

30 Save yourself and come down from that cross!"

31 In the same way, the chief priests were making fun of him among themselves, together with the legal experts. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself.

32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross. Then we'll see and believe." Even those who had been crucified with Jesus insulted him.

33 From noon until three in the afternoon the whole earth was dark.

34 At three, Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani," which means, "My God, my God, why have you left me?"

35 After hearing him, some standing there said, "Look! He's calling Elijah!"

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, and put it on a pole. He offered it to Jesus to drink, saying, "Let's see if Elijah will come to take him down."

37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and died.

38 The curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.

39 When the centurion, who stood facing Jesus, saw how he died, he said, "This man was certainly God's Son."

40 Some women were watching from a distance, including Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James (the younger one) and Joses, and Salome.

41 When Jesus was in Galilee, these women had followed and supported him, along with many other women who had come to Jerusalem with him.

42 Since it was late in the afternoon on Preparation Day, just before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph from Arimathea dared to approach Pilate and ask for Jesus' body. (Joseph was a prominent council member who also eagerly anticipated the coming of God's kingdom.)

44 Pilate wondered if Jesus was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him whether Jesus had already died.

45 When he learned from the centurion that Jesus was dead, Pilate gave the dead body to Joseph.

46 He bought a linen cloth, took Jesus down from the cross, wrapped him in the cloth, and laid him in a tomb that had been carved out of rock. He rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was buried.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things.

4 And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."

5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.

6 Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

7 And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barab'bas.

8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them.

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

10 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.

12 And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?"

13 And they cried out again, "Crucify him."

14 And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion.

17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him.

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

19 And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

21 And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

22 And they brought him to the place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull).

23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it.

24 And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

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

26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews."

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

29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself.

32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

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

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Eli'jah."

36 And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to take him down."

37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.

38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me,

41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

45 And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

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

47 Mary Mag'dalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
