Marco 15
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Gesù consegnato nelle mani di Pilato
15 (A)La mattina presto i capi dei sacerdoti, con gli anziani, gli scribi e tutto il sinedrio, tenuto consiglio, legarono Gesù, lo portarono via e lo consegnarono a Pilato.
2 Pilato gli domandò: «Sei tu il re dei Giudei?» Gesù gli rispose: «Tu lo dici». 3 I capi dei sacerdoti lo accusavano di molte cose; 4 e Pilato di nuovo lo interrogò dicendo: «Non rispondi nulla? Vedi di quante cose ti accusano![a]» 5 Ma Gesù non rispose più nulla; e Pilato se ne meravigliava.
6 (B)Ad ogni festa egli era solito liberare loro un carcerato, quello che essi domandavano. 7 Vi era allora in prigione un tale, chiamato Barabba, insieme ad alcuni ribelli[b] i quali avevano commesso un omicidio durante una rivolta. 8 E la folla, salita[c], cominciò a chiedere che facesse per loro come era solito fare[d]. 9 E Pilato rispose loro: «Volete che io vi liberi il re dei Giudei?» 10 Perché sapeva che i capi dei sacerdoti glielo avevano consegnato per invidia. 11 Ma i capi dei sacerdoti incitarono la folla perché piuttosto liberasse loro Barabba. 12 Pilato si rivolse di nuovo a loro, dicendo: «Che volete dunque che io faccia di colui che chiamate il re dei Giudei?»[e] 13 Ed essi di nuovo gridarono: «Crocifiggilo!» 14 Pilato disse loro: «Ma che male ha fatto?» Ma essi gridarono più forte che mai: «Crocifiggilo!» 15 Pilato, volendo soddisfare la folla, liberò loro Barabba; e consegnò Gesù, dopo averlo flagellato, perché fosse crocifisso.
16 Allora i soldati lo condussero nel cortile interno, cioè dentro il pretorio, e radunarono tutta la coorte. 17 Lo vestirono di porpora e, dopo aver intrecciata una corona di spine, gliela misero sul capo 18 e cominciarono a salutarlo: «Salve, re dei Giudei!» 19 E gli percuotevano il capo con una canna, gli sputavano addosso e, mettendosi in ginocchio, si prostravano davanti a lui[f]. 20 Dopo averlo schernito, lo spogliarono della porpora, lo rivestirono delle sue vesti e lo condussero fuori per crocifiggerlo.
La crocifissione di Gesù
21 (C)Costrinsero a portare la croce di lui un certo Simone di Cirene, padre di Alessandro e di Rufo, che passava di là tornando dai campi. 22 E condussero Gesù al luogo detto Golgota, che tradotto vuol dire «luogo del teschio». 23 Gli diedero [da bere] del vino mescolato con mirra, ma non ne prese.
24 Poi lo crocifissero e si divisero[g] le sue vesti, tirandole a sorte per sapere quello che ciascuno dovesse prendere. 25 Era l’ora terza[h] quando lo crocifissero.
26 L’iscrizione indicante il motivo della condanna diceva: «Il re dei Giudei».
27 Con lui crocifissero due ladroni, uno alla sua destra e l’altro alla sua sinistra. 28 [E si adempì la Scrittura che dice: «Egli è stato contato fra i malfattori»[i].]
29 (D)Quelli che passavano di là lo insultavano, scuotendo il capo e dicendo: «Eh, tu che distruggi il tempio e lo ricostruisci in tre giorni, 30 salva te stesso e scendi giù dalla croce!» 31 Allo stesso modo anche i capi dei sacerdoti con gli scribi, beffandosi, dicevano l’uno all’altro: «Ha salvato altri e non può salvare se stesso. 32 Il Cristo, il re d’Israele, scenda ora dalla croce, affinché vediamo e crediamo![j]» Anche quelli che erano stati crocifissi con lui lo insultavano.
33 (E)Venuta l’ora sesta[k], si fecero tenebre su tutto il paese[l] fino all’ora nona[m]. 34 All’ora nona Gesù gridò a gran voce [, dicendo]: «Eloì, Eloì, lamà sabactàni?», che, tradotto, vuol dire: «Dio mio, Dio mio, perché mi hai abbandonato?»[n] 35 Alcuni dei presenti, udito ciò, dicevano: «Chiama Elia!» 36 Uno di loro corse e, dopo aver inzuppato d’aceto una spugna, la pose in cima a una canna e gli diede da bere, dicendo: «Aspettate, vediamo se Elia viene a farlo scendere».
37 Gesù, emesso un gran grido, rese lo spirito.
38 E la cortina del tempio si squarciò in due, da cima a fondo.
39 E il centurione che era lì presente di fronte a Gesù, avendolo visto spirare in quel modo[o], disse: «Veramente quest’uomo era Figlio di Dio!»
40 Vi erano pure delle donne che guardavano da lontano. Tra di loro vi erano anche Maria Maddalena, Maria, madre di Giacomo il minore e di Iose, e Salome[p], 41 che, mentre egli era in Galilea, lo seguivano e lo servivano, e molte altre che erano salite con lui a Gerusalemme.
Il seppellimento di Gesù
42 (F)Essendo già sera (poiché era la Preparazione, cioè la vigilia del sabato), 43 venne Giuseppe d’Arimatea, illustre membro del Consiglio, il quale aspettava anch’egli il regno di Dio; e, fattosi coraggio, si presentò a Pilato e chiese il corpo di Gesù. 44 Pilato si meravigliò che fosse già morto; e, chiamato il centurione, gli domandò se fosse morto da molto tempo; 45 avutane conferma dal centurione, diede il corpo[q] a Giuseppe. 46 Questi, comprato un lenzuolo e tratto Gesù giù dalla croce, lo avvolse nel lenzuolo e lo pose in una tomba scavata nella roccia; poi rotolò una pietra contro l’apertura del sepolcro. 47 E Maria Maddalena e Maria, madre di Iose, stavano a guardare dove veniva messo.

Jesus before Pilate
15 (A)Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders, scribes, and the entire [a](B)Council immediately held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led Him away, and turned Him over to Pilate. 2 (C)Pilate questioned Him: “So You are the King of the Jews?” And He answered him, “It is as you say.” 3 And the chief priests started accusing Him [b]of many things. 4 But Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You offer nothing in answer? See how many charges they are bringing against You!” 5 But Jesus (D)said nothing further in answer, so Pilate was amazed.
6 (E)Now at the Passover Feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested. 7 And the one named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the revolt. 8 And the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to do as he had been accustomed to do for them. 9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd (F)to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead. 12 And responding again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” 13 They shouted [c]back, “Crucify Him!” 14 But Pilate said to them, “Why, what [d]evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!” 15 Intent on satisfying the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus (G)flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
16 (H)Now the soldiers took Him away into (I)the [e]palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman [f](J)cohort. 17 And they *dressed Him in [g]purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; 18 and they began saluting Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they repeatedly beat His head with a [h]reed and spit on Him, and kneeling, they bowed down before Him. 20 And after they had mocked Him, they took the [i]purple cloak off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
21 (K)And they *compelled a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and (L)Rufus), to carry His cross.
The Crucifixion
22 (M)Then they *brought Him to the place (N)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (O)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(P)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [j]lots for them to decide [k]what each man would take. 25 Now it was the [l](Q)third hour [m]when they crucified Him. 26 The inscription of the charge against Him [n]read, “(R)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 And they *crucified two [o]rebels with Him, one on His right and one on His left.[p] 29 Those passing by were [q]hurling abuse at Him, (S)shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to (T)destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “(U)He saved others; [r]He cannot save Himself! 32 Let this Christ, (V)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” (W)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
33 (X)When the [s](Y)sixth hour came, darkness [t]fell over the whole land until the [u](Z)ninth hour. 34 At the [v](AA)ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “(AB)Eloi, Eloi, lema sabaktanei?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35 And when some of the bystanders heard Him, they began saying, “Look! He is calling for Elijah!” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “[w]Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” 37 (AC)But Jesus let out a loud cry, and [x]died. 38 (AD)And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 (AE)And when the centurion, who was standing [y]right in front of Him, saw that He [z]died in this way, he said, “Truly this Man was [aa]the Son of God!”
40 (AF)Now there were also some women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of [ab]James (AG)the [ac]Less and Joses, and (AH)Salome. 41 When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and (AI)serve Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Is Buried
42 (AJ)When evening had already come, since it was (AK)the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a (AL)prominent member of the Council, who was himself also (AM)waiting for the kingdom of God; and he (AN)gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Now Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. 45 And after learning this from (AO)the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 (AP)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where He was laid.

New International Version
Jesus Before Pilate(A)
15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.
6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.
12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)
21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(Z)
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)
40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)
The Burial of Jesus(AK)
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.
