Mark 15 (WEBP)

[1] Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
[2] Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
[3] The chief priests accused him of many things.
[4] Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
[5] But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
[6] Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
[7] There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
[8] The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
[9] Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
[10] For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
[11] But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
[12] Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
[13] They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
[14] Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
[15] Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
[16] The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
[17] They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
[18] They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
[19] They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
[20] When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
[21] They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross.
[22] They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”
[23] They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
[24] Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
[25] It was the third hour when they crucified him.
[26] The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
[27] With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
[28] The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”
[29] Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
[30] save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
[31] Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.
[32] Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
[33] When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
[34] At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
[35] Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
[36] One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”
[37] Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
[38] The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
[39] When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
[40] There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
[41] who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
[42] When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
[44] Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
[45] When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
[46] He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
[47] Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

Young’s Literal Translation

Mark 15 (YLT)

[1] And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;
[2] and Pilate questioned him, ‘Art thou the king of the Jews?’ and he answering said to him, ‘Thou dost say it.’
[3] And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.
[4] And Pilate again questioned him, saying, ‘Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!’
[5] and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
[6] And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
[7] and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
[8] And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
[9] and Pilate answered them, saying, ‘Will ye that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?’
[10] for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
[11] and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
[12] And Pilate answering, again said to them, ‘What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?’
[13] and they again cried out, ‘Crucify him.’
[14] And Pilate said to them, ‘Why-what evil did he?’ and they cried out the more vehemently, ‘Crucify him;’
[15] and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus-having scourged him-that he might be crucified.
[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
[17] and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him,
[18] and began to salute him, ‘Hail, King of the Jews.’
[19] And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
[20] and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
[21] And they impress a certain one passing by-Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus-that he may bear his cross,
[22] and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, ‘Place of a skull;’
[23] and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.
[24] And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;
[25] and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;
[26] and the inscription of his accusation was written above-‘The King of the Jews.’
[27] And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,
[28] and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, ‘And with lawless ones he was numbered.’
[29] And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, ‘Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
[30] save thyself, and come down from the cross!’
[31] And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, ‘Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.
[32] The Christ! the king of Israel-let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;’ and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
[33] And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,
[34] and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?’ which is, being interpreted, ‘My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?’
[35] And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, ‘Lo, Elijah he doth call;’
[36] and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, ‘Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.’
[37] And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
[38] and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,
[39] and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, ‘Truly this man was Son of God.’
[40] And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
[41] (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
[42] And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
[44] And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,
[45] and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
[46] And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,
[47] and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
