Mark 15-16 (Darby Translation)

Mark 15

 ¹And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.

 ²And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.

 ³And the chief priests accused him urgently.

 ⁴And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.

 ⁵But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

 ⁶But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].

 ⁷Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.

 ⁸And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.

 ⁹But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?

 ¹⁰for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.

 ¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

 ¹²And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?

 ¹³And they cried out again, Crucify him.

 ¹⁴And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

 ¹⁵And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.

 ¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

 ¹⁷And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

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

 ¹⁹And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.

 ²⁰And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.

 ²¹And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.

 ²²And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.

 ²³And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].

 ²⁴And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.

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

 ²⁶And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.

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

 ²⁸[And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.]

 ²⁹And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

 ³⁰save thyself, and descend from the cross.

 ³¹In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

 ³²Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

 ³³And when [the] sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;

 ³⁴and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

 ³⁵And some of those who stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls for Elias.

 ³⁶And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

 ³⁷And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.

 ³⁸And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

 ³⁹And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

 ⁴⁰And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

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

 ⁴²And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath,

 ⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

 ⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.

 ⁴⁵And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

 ⁴⁶And having bought fine linen, [and] having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

 ⁴⁷And Mary of Magdala and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was put.

Mark 16

 ¹And the sabbath being [now] past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.

 ²And very early on the first [day] of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.

 ³And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?

 ⁴And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled [away], for it was very great.

 ⁵And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;

 ⁶but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.

 ⁷But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

 ⁸And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

 ⁹Now when he had risen very early, the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.

 ¹⁰*She* went and brought word to those that had been with him, [who were] grieving and weeping.

 ¹¹And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved [it].

 ¹²And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;

 ¹³and *they* went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.

 ¹⁴Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached [them with] their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.

 ¹⁵And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.

 ¹⁶He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

 ¹⁷And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

 ¹⁸they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.

 ¹⁹The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.

 ²⁰And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word by the signs following upon [it].
