bbe @Mark:15:1 @And the first thing in the morning the chief priests , with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin , had a meeting , and put cords round Jesus , and took him away , and gave him up to Pilate . bbe @Mark:15:2 @And Pilate put a question to him , Are you the King of the Jews ? And he , answering , said to him , You say so . bbe @Mark:15:3 @And the chief priests said a number of things against him . bbe @Mark:15:4 @And Pilate again put a question , Do you say nothing in answer ? see how much evil they say you have done . bbe @Mark:15:5 @But Jesus gave no more answers , so that Pilate was full of wonder . bbe @Mark:15:6 @Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request . bbe @Mark:15:7 @And there was one named Barabbas , in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life . bbe @Mark:15:8 @And the people went up , requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years . bbe @Mark:15:9 @And Pilate said in answer to them , Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free ? bbe @Mark:15:10 @For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy . bbe @Mark:15:11 @But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free . bbe @Mark:15:12 @And Pilate again said in answer to them , What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews ? bbe @Mark:15:13 @And they said again loudly , To the cross with him ! bbe @Mark:15:14 @And Pilate said to them , Why , what evil has he done ? But their cry was the louder , To the cross ! bbe @Mark:15:15 @And Pilate , desiring to do what was pleasing to the people , let Barabbas go free , and gave up Jesus , when he had been whipped , to be put to death on the cross . bbe @Mark:15:16 @And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium , and they got together all the band . bbe @Mark:15:17 @And they put a purple robe on him , and twisting a crown of thorns , they put it on him ; bbe @Mark:15:18 @And , as if honouring him , they said , Long life to the King of the Jews ! bbe @Mark:15:19 @And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and , going down on their knees , gave him worship bbe @Mark:15:20 @And when they had made sport of him , they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him . And they took him out to put him to death on the cross . bbe @Mark:15:21 @And they made one , Simon of Cyrene , the father of Alexander and Rufus , who was going by , coming from the country , go with them , so that he might take his cross . bbe @Mark:15:22 @And they took him to the place named Golgotha , which is , Dead Man 's Head . bbe @Mark:15:23 @And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh ; but he did not take it . bbe @Mark:15:24 @And he was nailed to the cross ; and they made a division of his clothing among them , putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take . bbe @Mark:15:25 @And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross . bbe @Mark:15:26 @And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross , THE KING OF THE JEWS . bbe @Mark:15:27 @And they put two thieves on crosses with him , one on his right side , and one on his left . bbe @Mark:15:29 @And those who went by made sport of him , shaking their heads , and saying , Ha ! you who give the Temple to destruction , and put it up again in three days , bbe @Mark:15:30 @Keep yourself from death , and come down from the cross . bbe @Mark:15:31 @In the same way the chief priests , laughing at him among themselves with the scribes , said , A saviour of others , he has no salvation for himself . bbe @Mark:15:32 @Let the Christ , the King of Israel , come down now from the cross , so that we may see and have belief . And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him . bbe @Mark:15:33 @And when the sixth hour had come , it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour . bbe @Mark:15:34 @And at the ninth hour , Jesus said in a loud voice , Eloi , Eloi , lama sabachthani ? which is , My God , my God , why are you turned away from me ? bbe @Mark:15:35 @And some of those who were near , hearing it , said , See , he is crying to Elijah . bbe @Mark:15:36 @And one of them went quickly and , getting a sponge full of bitter wine , put it on a rod , and gave it to him for drink , saying , Let be ; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down . bbe @Mark:15:37 @And Jesus gave a loud cry , and gave up his spirit . bbe @Mark:15:38 @And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end . bbe @Mark:15:39 @And when the captain , who was near , saw how he gave up his spirit , he said , Truly this man was a son of God . bbe @Mark:15:40 @And there were women watching from a distance : among them were Mary Magdalene , and Mary , the mother of James the less and of Joses , and Salome , bbe @Mark:15:41 @Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him ; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem . bbe @Mark:15:42 @And when it was evening , because it was the time of getting ready , that is , the day before the Sabbath , bbe @Mark:15:43 @There came Joseph of Arimathaea , a responsible man in high honour , who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God ; and he went in to Pilate without fear , and made a request for the body of Jesus . bbe @Mark:15:44 @And Pilate was surprised that he was dead ; and , sending for the captain , he put a question to see if he had been dead for long . bbe @Mark:15:45 @And when he had news of it from the captain , he let Joseph have the body . bbe @Mark:15:46 @And he got a linen cloth and , taking him down , put the linen cloth round him , and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock ; and a stone was rolled against the door . bbe @Mark:15:47 @And Mary Magdalene and Mary , the mother of Joses , saw where he was put .
