Mark 15
New King James Version
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. 2 (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”
3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. 4 (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” 5 (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)
6 Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. 8 Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. 9 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.

Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Isus înaintea lui Pilat
15 Dis-de-dimineaţă, conducătorii preoţilor au ţinut imediat sfat împreună cu bătrânii, cărturarii Legii şi întreg Sinedriul[a]. L-au legat pe Isus, L-au dus şi L-au dat pe mâna lui Pilat[b]. 2 Pilat L-a întrebat:
– Eşti Tu Împăratul iudeilor?
Isus i-a răspuns:
– Este aşa cum spui.
3 Conducătorii preoţilor Îl acuzau de multe lucruri. 4 Pilat L-a întrebat din nou:
– Nu răspunzi nimic? Uite de câte lucruri Te acuză ei!
5 Dar, spre mirarea lui Pilat, Isus n-a mai răspuns nimic.
6 Pilat le elibera la fiecare sărbătoare un prizonier pe care-l cereau ei. 7 Era unul numit Baraba, închis împreună cu răsculaţii care săvârşiseră o crimă în timpul răscoalei. 8 Mulţimea a venit şi a început să-i ceară lui Pilat să facă ceea ce făcea de obicei. 9 Pilat i-a întrebat:
– Vreţi să vi-L eliberez pe Împăratul iudeilor?
10 Căci el înţelesese că din invidie Îl dăduseră conducătorii preoţilor pe mâna lui.
11 Însă conducătorii preoţilor au stârnit mulţimea să ceară să le elibereze mai bine pe Baraba. 12 Pilat i-a întrebat iarăşi:
– Şi atunci ce (doriţi)[c] să fac cu (Cel pe Care-L numiţi)[d] Împăratul iudeilor?
13 Ei au strigat din nou:
– Răstigneşte-L!
14 Pilat i-a întrebat:
– Dar ce rău a făcut?
Însă ei strigau şi mai tare:
– Răstigneşte-L!
15 Şi astfel, Pilat, vrând să facă pe placul mulţimii, le-a eliberat pe Baraba, iar pe Isus, după ce a pus să-L biciuiască,[e] L-a dat să fie răstignit.
Isus, batjocorit de soldaţi
16 Soldaţii L-au dus în curtea palatului, adică în pretoriu[f], şi au chemat toată cohorta[g]. 17 L-au îmbrăcat cu o mantie purpurie, au împletit o coroană de spini şi I-au aşezat-o pe cap. 18 Şi au început să-L salute zicând: „Salutare, Împărate al iudeilor!“[h] 19 Ei Îl loveau peste cap cu o trestie, Îl scuipau şi se puneau în genunchi, închinându-I-se. 20 După ce şi-au bătut joc de El astfel, L-au dezbrăcat de mantia purpurie, L-au îmbrăcat cu hainele Lui şi L-au dus afară să-L răstignească.
Răstignirea
21 Au obligat un trecător, un om care venea de la câmp, şi anume pe Simon din Cirena, tatăl lui Alexandru şi al lui Rufus, să ducă crucea lui Isus. 22 L-au adus la locul numit Golgota, care tradus înseamnă „Locul Craniului“[i]. 23 I-au dat să bea vin amestecat cu smirnă,[j] dar El nu l-a luat.[k] 24 După ce L-au răstignit, şi-au împărţit hainele Lui între ei, trăgând la sorţi pentru ele,[l] ca să ştie cine ce să ia.
25 Era ceasul al treilea[m] când L-au răstignit. 26 Au pus o inscripţie cu următoarea acuzaţie împotriva Lui: „Împăratul iudeilor“. 27 Au răstignit cu El şi doi tâlhari, unul la dreapta şi unul la stânga Lui. 28 (Astfel a fost împlinită Scriptura, care zice: „A fost numărat alături de cei nelegiuiţi.“)[n] 29 Cei ce treceau pe acolo Îl insultau, dădeau din cap şi ziceau: „Ha! Tu, Cel Care dărâmi Templul şi-l reconstruieşti în trei zile, 30 salvează-Te pe Tine Însuţi şi dă-Te jos de pe cruce!“
31 Tot aşa Îl batjocoreau între ei şi conducătorii preoţilor împreună cu cărturarii, zicând: „Pe alţii i-a salvat, dar pe Sine Însuşi nu Se poate salva! 32 «Cristosul»! «Împăratul lui Israel»! Să se coboare acum de pe cruce, ca să vedem şi să credem!“ Cei care erau răstigniţi împreună cu El Îl batjocoreau şi ei.
Moartea lui Isus
33 Când a venit ceasul al şaselea, s-a făcut întuneric peste toată ţara până la ceasul al nouălea.[o] 34 Şi la ceasul al nouălea Isus a strigat cu glas tare: „Eloi, Eloi, lema sabactani?“, care tradus înseamnă „Dumnezeul Meu, Dumnezeul Meu, de ce M-ai părăsit?“[p]
35 Unii din cei ce stăteau acolo L-au auzit şi au zis: „Iată că-l strigă pe Ilie!“
36 Cineva a alergat şi a umplut un burete cu vin acru[q], l-a pus într-o trestie şi I l-a dat să-l bea, zicând: „Lăsaţi să vedem dacă va veni Ilie să-L dea jos!“
37 Isus a scos un strigăt puternic şi Şi-a dat suflarea.
38 Atunci draperia[r] Templului a fost despicată în două, de sus până jos. 39 Când centurionul[s] care se afla în faţa lui Isus a văzut cum[t] Şi-a dat suflarea, a zis: „Într-adevăr, Omul Acesta era Fiul lui[u] Dumnezeu!“
40 Acolo erau şi nişte femei care priveau de departe. Printre ele erau şi Maria Magdalena, Maria – mama lui Iacov cel tânăr şi a lui Iose[v] – şi Salome, 41 care Îl urmaseră pe Isus şi-I slujiseră atunci când se afla în Galileea. Şi mai erau încă multe altele care veniseră cu El la Ierusalim.
Înmormântarea lui Isus
42 Când s-a făcut deja seară, pentru că era Ziua Pregătirii, adică ziua de dinaintea Sabatului, 43 Iosif din Arimateea, un sfetnic distins din Sinedriu[w], care şi el aştepta Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu, a îndrăznit să se ducă la Pilat şi să-i ceară trupul lui Isus. 44 Pilat s-a mirat că murise deja şi l-a chemat pe centurion ca să-l întrebe dacă a murit de mult timp. 45 El s-a lămurit de la centurion de lucrul aceasta şi apoi i-a dăruit lui Iosif trupul lui Isus. 46 Iosif a cumpărat o pânză de in, apoi I-a dat jos trupul, L-a înfăşurat în pânza de in, L-a pus într-un mormânt săpat în stâncă şi a rostogolit o piatră la intrarea mormântului. 47 Maria Magdalena şi Maria, mama lui Iose, au văzut unde fusese pus.

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.
