Mark 15

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 Again they shouted, "Crucify Him!"

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

15 Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he 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.

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

18 And they began to salute 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.

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.

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.

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

23 They tried to give 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.

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

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

27 They crucified two criminals 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. ]

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,

30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!"

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!

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.

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

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? "

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

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!"

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

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

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!"

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Mark 16

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him.

2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb at sunrise.

3 They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?"

4 Looking up, they observed that the stone-which was very large-had been rolled away.

5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed.

6 "Don't be alarmed," he told them. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there just as He told you.' "

8 So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid. [

9 Early on the first day of the week, after He had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had driven seven demons.

10 She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.

11 Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

12 Then after this, He appeared in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.

13 And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.

14 Later, He appeared to the Eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw Him after He had been resurrected.

15 Then He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;

18 they will pick up snakes; if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well."

19 Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.]
