Marcos 15
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Jesús ante Pilato
15 Muy de mañana, los principales sacerdotes prepararon enseguida una reunión(A) con los ancianos, los escribas y todo el Concilio[a](B); y atando a Jesús, lo llevaron y lo entregaron a Pilato. 2 «(C)¿Eres Tú el Rey de los judíos?», le preguntó Pilato. «Tú lo dices», respondió* Jesús.
3 Y los principales sacerdotes lo acusaban de muchas cosas[b]. 4 De nuevo Pilato le preguntó: «¿No respondes nada? Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan». 5 Pero Jesús no respondió nada más(D); de modo que Pilato estaba asombrado.
Jesús o Barrabás
6 (E)Ahora bien, en cada fiesta Pilato acostumbraba soltarles un preso, el que ellos pidieran. 7 Y uno llamado Barrabás había sido encarcelado con los rebeldes que habían cometido homicidio en la insurrección. 8 Cuando la multitud subió, comenzó a pedirle a Pilato que hiciera como siempre les había hecho. 9 Entonces Pilato les preguntó: «¿Quieren que les suelte al Rey de los judíos?». 10 Porque sabía que los principales sacerdotes lo habían entregado por envidia.
11 Pero los principales sacerdotes provocaron a la multitud para que le pidiera que en vez de Jesús les soltara a Barrabás(F). 12 Pilato les preguntó: «¿Qué haré, entonces, con el que ustedes llaman el Rey de los judíos?». 13 Ellos le respondieron a gritos[c]: «¡Crucifícalo!». 14 Y Pilato les decía: «¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho?». Y ellos gritaban aún más: «¡Crucifícalo!». 15 Pilato, queriendo complacer a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y después de hacer azotar a Jesús, lo entregó para que fuera crucificado(G).
Los soldados se burlan de Jesús
16 (H)Entonces los soldados llevaron a Jesús dentro del palacio[d](I), es decir, al Pretorio, y convocaron* a toda la tropa[e] romana(J). 17 Lo vistieron* de púrpura, y después de tejer una corona de espinas, se la pusieron; 18 y comenzaron a gritar: «¡Salve, Rey de los judíos!». 19 Le golpeaban la cabeza con una caña[f] y le escupían, y poniéndose de rodillas, le hacían reverencias. 20 Después de haberse burlado de Jesús, le quitaron el manto de púrpura, le pusieron Sus ropas y lo sacaron* para que fuera crucificado.
21 (K)Y obligaron* a uno que pasaba y que venía del campo, Simón de Cirene, padre de Alejandro y Rufo, a que llevara la cruz de Jesús.
La crucifixión
22 (L)Lo llevaron* al lugar llamado Gólgota, que traducido significa Lugar de la Calavera(M). 23 Trataron de dar a Jesús vino mezclado con mirra, pero Él no lo tomó(N). 24 Cuando lo crucificaron*, se repartieron* Sus vestidos, echando suertes[g] sobre ellos para decidir lo que cada uno tomaría(O). 25 Era la hora tercera[h](P) cuando[i] lo crucificaron. 26 La inscripción de la acusación contra Él decía[j]: «EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS(Q)». 27 Crucificaron* con Él a dos ladrones; uno a Su derecha y otro a Su izquierda. 28 [k]Y se cumplió la Escritura que dice: «Y con los transgresores fue contado».
29 Los que pasaban lo injuriaban, meneando la cabeza(R) y diciendo: «¡Bah! Tú que destruyes el templo y en tres días lo reedificas(S), 30 ¡sálvate a Ti mismo descendiendo de la cruz!». 31 De igual manera, también los principales sacerdotes junto con los escribas, burlándose de Él entre ellos, decían: «A otros salvó, Él mismo no se puede salvar[l](T). 32 Que este[m] Cristo, el Rey de Israel(U), descienda ahora de la cruz, para que veamos y creamos». Y los que estaban crucificados con Él también lo insultaban(V).
Muerte de Jesús
33 (W)Cuando llegó la hora sexta[n], hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena[o](X). 34 Y a la hora novena[p](Y) Jesús exclamó con fuerte voz: «Eloi, Eloi, ¿lema sabactani?», que traducido significa, «Dios Mío, Dios Mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado(Z)?». 35 Algunos de los que estaban allí, al oírlo, decían: «Miren, está llamando a Elías». 36 Entonces uno corrió y empapó una esponja en vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña[q], dio a Jesús a beber, diciendo: «Dejen, veamos si Elías lo viene a bajar». 37 Pero Jesús, dando un fuerte grito, expiró(AA). 38 Y el velo del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo(AB).
39 Viendo el centurión que estaba frente a Él, la manera en que[r] expiró, dijo: «En verdad este hombre era Hijo de Dios[s](AC)». 40 (AD)Había también unas mujeres mirando de lejos, entre las que estaban María Magdalena, María, la madre de Jacobo[t] el menor[u](AE) y de José, y Salomé(AF), 41 las cuales cuando Jesús estaba en Galilea, lo seguían y le servían(AG); y había muchas otras que habían subido con Él a Jerusalén.
Sepultura de Jesús
42 (AH)Ya al atardecer, como era el día de la preparación(AI), es decir, la víspera del día de reposo, 43 vino José de Arimatea, miembro prominente del Concilio[v](AJ), que también esperaba el reino de Dios(AK); y llenándose de valor, entró adonde estaba Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús(AL). 44 Pilato se sorprendió de que ya hubiera muerto, y llamando al centurión, le preguntó si ya estaba muerto.
45 Y al comprobar esto por medio del centurión(AM), le concedió el cuerpo a José, 46 quien compró un lienzo de lino, y bajando el cuerpo de la cruz, lo envolvió en el lienzo de lino y lo puso en un sepulcro que había sido excavado en la roca; e hizo rodar una piedra a la entrada del sepulcro. 47 Y María Magdalena y María, la madre de José(AN), miraban para saber dónde lo ponían.

Mark 15
English Standard Version
Jesus Delivered to Pilate
15 (A)And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests (B)held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And (C)they bound Jesus and (D)led him away and (E)delivered him over to (F)Pilate. 2 (G)And Pilate asked him, (H)“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, (I)“You have said so.” 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, (J)“Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5 But Jesus (K)made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
6 (L)Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7 And among the rebels in prison, who had (M)committed murder (N)in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. 9 And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he perceived that (O)it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. 12 And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with (P)the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? (Q)What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having (R)scourged[a] Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
16 (S)And the soldiers led him away inside (T)the palace (that is, (U)the governor's headquarters),[b] and they called together the whole (V)battalion.[c] 17 And they clothed him in (W)a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, (X)“Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and (Y)spitting on him and (Z)kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had (AA)mocked him, they stripped him of (AB)the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they (AC)led him out to crucify him.
The Crucifixion
21 (AD)And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 (AE)And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with (AF)myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and (AG)divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And (AH)it was the third hour[d] when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, (AI)“The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two (AJ)robbers, (AK)one on his right and one on his left.[e] 29 And (AL)those who passed by derided him, (AM)wagging their heads and saying, (AN)“Aha! (AO)You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, (AP)“He saved others; (AQ)he cannot save himself. 32 Let (AR)the Christ, (AS)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may (AT)see and believe.” (AU)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
The Death of Jesus
33 And when the sixth hour[f] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[g] 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus (AV)cried with a loud voice, (AW)“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with (AX)sour wine, put it on a reed (AY)and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus (AZ)uttered a loud cry and (BA)breathed his last. 38 And (BB)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 (BC)And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he[h] breathed his last, he said, (BD)“Truly this man was the Son[i] of God!”
40 There were also (BE)women looking on (BF)from a distance, among whom were (BG)Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and (BH)Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and (BI)ministered to him, and there were also many other women who (BJ)came up with him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Is Buried
42 (BK)And when evening had come, since it was (BL)the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, (BM)a respected member of the council, who (BN)was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.[j] And summoning (BO)the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned from (BP)the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And Joseph[k] bought (BQ)a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and (BR)laid him in a tomb (BS)that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled (BT)a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 (BU)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

King James Version
15 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And 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?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
