Исус пред Пилат

15 (A)И на сутринта главните свещеници със старейшините и книжниците и целият Синедрион незабавно свикаха съвещание и като вързаха Исус, отведоха Го и Го предадоха на Пилат.

(B)И Пилат Го попита: Ти ли си Юдейският Цар? А Той му отговори: Ти казваш.

И главните свещеници Го обвиняваха в много неща.

(C)А Пилат пак Го попита: Нищо ли не отговаряш? Виж за колко неща Те обвиняват!

(D)Но Исус вече нищо не отговори, така че Пилат се чудеше.

(E)А на всеки празник той им пускаше по един затворник, за когото отправеха прошение.

А имаше един на име Варава, затворен заедно с онези бунтовници, които по време на бунта бяха извършили убийство.

И народът се изкачи и започна да иска от Пилат да направи за тях, каквото имаше обичай да прави.

А Пилат им отговори: Искате ли да ви пусна Юдейския Цар

10 (понеже видя, че главните свещеници от завист Го бяха предали)?

11 (F)Но главните свещеници подбудиха народа да искат по-добре да им пусне Варава.

12 Пилат пак им каза: Тогава какво да направя с Този, Когото наричате Юдейски Цар?

13 А те пак изкрещяха: Разпъни Го!

14 А Пилат им каза: Че какво зло е сторил? Но те още по-силно закрещяха: Разпъни Го!

15 (G)Тогава Пилат, като искаше да угоди на народа, пусна им Варава, а Исус бичува и Го предаде на разпятие.

Исус с трънен венец

16 (H)Войниците Го заведоха вътре в двора, т. е. в преторията, и свикаха цялата дружина.

17 И Му облякоха пурпурна мантия, сплетоха и венец от тръни и Го положиха на главата Му.

18 И започнаха да Го поздравяват: Здравей, Царю Юдейски!

19 И Го удряха по главата с тръстикова пръчка, заплюваха Го и като коленичеха, кланяха Му се.

20 След като Му се подиграха, съблякоха Му пурпурната мантия, облякоха Го в Неговите дрехи и Го изведоха навън да Го разпънат.

Разпятието

21 (I)И накараха да носи кръста Му някой си Симон Киринееца, баща на Александър и Руф, който минаваше на връщане от нива.

22 (J)И заведоха Исус на мястото Голгота, което значи Лобно място.

23 (K)И Му дадоха вино, смесено със смирна, но Той не прие.

24 (L)След като Го разпънаха, си разделиха дрехите Му и хвърлиха жребий за тях, кой какво да вземе.

25 (M)А беше третият час, когато Го разпънаха.

26 (N)А надписът на обвинението Му беше написан така: Юдейският Цар.

27 (O)И с Него разпънаха двама разбойника, един от дясната Му страна и един от лявата Му страна.

28 (P)И се изпълни Писанието, което казва: „И към беззаконниците беше причислен.“

29 (Q)И които минаваха оттам, Го хулеха, като клатеха глави и казваха: Уха! Ти, Който разрушаваш храма и за три дни пак го съграждаш,

30 спаси Себе Си и слез от кръста!

31 Подобно и главните свещеници с книжниците Му се подиграваха, като казваха помежду си: Други е избавил, а пък Себе Си не може да избави!

32 (R)Нека Христос, Израилевият Цар, слезе сега от кръста, за да видим и да повярваме. И разпънатите с него Го ругаеха.

33 (S)А на шестия час настана тъмнина по цялата земя и продължи до деветия час.

34 (T)И на деветия час Исус извика със силен глас: Елои, Елои, лама савахтани?, което значи: Боже Мой, Боже Мой, защо си Ме оставил?

35 И някои от стоящите там, като чуха, казаха: Ето, вика Илия.

36 (U)И един изтича, натопи гъба в оцет, надяна я на тръстикова пръчка и Му даде да пие, като казваше: Оставете Го! Да видим дали ще дойде Илия да Го снеме.

37 (V)А Исус, като нададе силен вик, издъхна.

38 (W)И завесата на храма се раздра на две, от горе до долу.

39 (X)А стотникът, който стоеше срещу Него, като видя, че така извика и издъхна, каза: Наистина Този човек беше Божий Син.

40 (Y)Имаше още и жени, които гледаха отдалеч, между които бяха и Мария Магдалена и Мария, майката на малкия Яков и на Йосия, и Саломия;

41 (Z)които, когато беше в Галилея, вървяха след Исус и Му служеха; имаше и много други жени, които бяха дошли с Него в Йерусалим.

Погребението на Исус

42 (AA)И когато вече се свечери, понеже беше Денят на Приготовлението, т. е. преди събота,

43 (AB)дойде Йосиф от Ариматея, един почтен съветник, който и сам очакваше Божието царство, и се осмели да влезе при Пилат и да поиска тялото на Исус.

44 А Пилат се учуди, че вече е умрял, и като повика стотника, попита го дали е мъртъв от дълго време.

45 И като разбра от стотника, отстъпи тялото на Йосиф.

46 (AC)И той купи плащеница и като Го сне, обви Го в плащеницата и Го положи в гроб, който беше изсечен в скала, и сложи камък върху гробната врата.

47 (AD)А Мария Магдалена и Мария, Йосиевата майка, гледаха къде Го полагат.

Pilate Questions Jesus(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the ·leading [T chief] priests, the elders, the ·teachers of the law [scribes], and all the ·Jewish council [Sanhedrin; see 14:55] decided what to do with Jesus. They ·tied [bound] him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate, the governor.

Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

Jesus answered, “·Those are your words [It is as you say; L You say so; C an indirect affirmation].”

The ·leading [T chief] priests accused Jesus of many things. So Pilate asked Jesus another question, “You can see that they are accusing you of many things. Aren’t you going to answer?”

But Jesus still said nothing, so Pilate was ·very surprised [amazed].

Pilate Tries to Free Jesus(B)

Every year at the ·time of the Passover [festival/feast] the governor would free one prisoner whom the people ·chose [requested]. At that time, there was a man named Barabbas in prison, one of a group of rebels who had committed murder during ·a riot [the uprising/insurrection]. The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to free a prisoner as he always did.

So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?” 10 Pilate knew that the ·leading [T chief] priests had turned Jesus in to him because they were jealous. 11 But the ·leading [T chief] priests had ·persuaded [stirred up] the people to ask Pilate to free Barabbas, not Jesus.

12 Then Pilate asked the crowd again, “So what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?”

13 They shouted, “Crucify him!”

14 Pilate asked, “Why? What ·wrong [crime; evil] has he done?”

But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Pilate wanted to ·please [satisfy] the crowd, so he freed Barabbas for them. After having Jesus ·beaten with whips [flogged; scourged], he handed Jesus over to the soldiers to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(C)

16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] governor’s palace (called the Praetorium) and called ·all the other soldiers [the whole cohort] together [C a cohort was about 500 soldiers; here it may mean those of the cohort on duty]. 17 They put a purple robe [C probably a scarlet military coat (Matt. 27:28), whose color resembled purple—the color of royalty] on Jesus and used thorny branches to make a crown for his head. 18 They began to ·call out to [greet; salute] him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 The soldiers beat Jesus on the head many times with a stick. They spit on him and made fun of him by bowing on their knees and worshiping him. 20 After they finished, the soldiers took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him out of the palace to be crucified.

Jesus Is Crucified(D)

21 A man named Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus [C probably two Christians known to Mark’s readers], was coming from the ·fields [countryside] to the city. The soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross for Jesus. 22 They led Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means [C in Aramaic] the Place of the Skull. 23 ·The soldiers [L  They; C this could be the soldiers or the women of Jerusalem] tried to give Jesus wine mixed with myrrh to drink [C a narcotic meant to dull the pain; Prov. 31:6; Ps. 69:21], but he refused. 24 The soldiers crucified Jesus and divided his clothes among themselves, throwing lots [C similar to dice] to decide what each soldier would get [Ps. 22:18].

25 It was ·nine o’clock in the morning [L the third hour] when they crucified Jesus. 26 There was a sign with this charge against Jesus written on it: the king of the jews. 27 They also put two ·robbers [rebels; revolutionaries; C the term “robber” was used by the Romans of insurrectionists] on crosses beside Jesus, one on the right, and the other on the left. |28 And the Scripture came true that says, “They put him with criminals [Is. 53:12].”|[a] 29 People walked by and ·insulted [defamed; slandered; C the same Greek word used to “blaspheme”] Jesus and shook their heads [C a gesture of derision; Ps. 22:7], saying, “You said you could destroy the Temple and build it again in three days. 30 So save yourself! Come down from that cross!”

31 The ·leading [T chief] priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] were also making fun of Jesus. They said to each other, “He saved other people, but he can’t save himself. 32 If he is really the ·Christ [Messiah], the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. When we see this, we will believe in him.” The robbers who were being crucified beside Jesus also ·insulted [ridiculed; taunted] him.

Jesus Dies(E)

33 At ·noon [L the sixth hour] the whole country became dark, and the darkness lasted ·for three hours [L until the ninth hour]. 34 At ·three o’clock [L the ninth hour] Jesus cried in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.” This means [C in Aramaic], “My God, my God, why have you ·abandoned [forsaken] me?” [Ps. 22:1]

35 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “Listen! He is calling Elijah.” [C The prophet Elijah was associated with the end times (Mal. 4:5) and was also viewed as a helper in time of need.]

36 Someone there ran and got a sponge, filled it with ·vinegar [or sour wine; C an inexpensive drink used by soldiers and slaves], tied it to a ·stick [reed], and gave it to Jesus to drink [Ps. 69:21]. He said, “[Leave him be; Wait!] We want to see if Elijah will come to take him down from the cross.”

37 Then Jesus cried in a loud voice and ·died [breathed his last; L expired].

38 The curtain [C dividing the Most Holy Place from the rest of the temple] in the Temple was torn into two pieces, from the top to the bottom [C representing new access to the presence of God, and perhaps God’s judgment against the Temple leadership]. 39 When the ·army officer [centurion] who was standing in front of the cross saw ·what happened when [or how] Jesus died,[b] he said, “This man really was the Son of God!”

40 Some women were standing at a distance from the cross, watching; among them were Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph. (James was her youngest son.) 41 These women had followed Jesus in Galilee and ·helped [cared for; supported] him. Many other women were also there who had come with Jesus to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried(F)

42 This was Preparation Day. (That means the day before the Sabbath day.) That evening, 43 Joseph from Arimathea was ·brave [bold] enough to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus’ body. Joseph, an ·important [respected] member of the ·Jewish council [Sanhedrin; see 14:55], was one of the people who was waiting for the kingdom of God to come. 44 Pilate was amazed that Jesus would have already died, so he called the ·army officer [centurion] and asked him if Jesus ·had already died [or had been dead very long]. 45 The officer told Pilate that he was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body. 46 Joseph bought some linen cloth, took the body down from the cross, and wrapped it in the linen. He put the body in a tomb that was cut out of a wall of rock. Then he rolled a [C large] stone to block the entrance of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph ·saw [took note of] the place where Jesus was laid.

  1. Mark 15:28 And … criminals.” Some Greek copies do not contain the bracketed text, which quotes from Isaiah 53:12.
  2. Mark 15:39 when Jesus died Some Greek copies read “when Jesus cried out and died.”

Jesus Faces Pilate(A)

15 Immediately, (B)in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and (C)delivered Him to Pilate. (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

He answered and said to him, It is as you say.”

And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)

Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

11 But (J)the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the (K)King of the Jews?”

13 So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”

14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, (L)what evil has He done?”

But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”

15 (M)So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be (N)crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(O)

16 (P)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called [c]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they (Q)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had (R)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

The King on a Cross(S)

21 (T)Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. 22 (U)And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 (V)Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, (W)they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

25 Now (X)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And (Y)the inscription of His [d]accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 (Z)With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [e]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (AA)“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

29 And (AB)those who passed by blasphemed Him, (AC)wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! (AD)You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

31 Likewise the chief priests also, (AE)mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved (AF)others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [f]believe.”

Even (AG)those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross(AH)

33 Now (AI)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 out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, (AJ)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36 Then (AK)someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and (AL)offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”

37 (AM)And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

38 Then (AN)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 So (AO)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that [g]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

40 (AP)There were also women looking on (AQ)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also (AR)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AS)

42 (AT)Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who (AU)was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 (AV)Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
