Mark 15
Complete Jewish Bible
15 As soon as it was morning, the head cohanim held a council meeting with the elders, the Torah-teachers and the whole Sanhedrin. Then they put Yeshua in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate put this question to him: “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “The words are yours.” 3 The head cohanim too made accusations against him, 4 and Pilate again inquired of him, “Aren’t you going to answer? Look how many charges they are making against you!” 5 But Yeshua made no further response, to Pilate’s amazement.
6 Now during a festival, Pilate used to set free one prisoner, whomever the crowd requested. 7 There was in prison among the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection a man called Bar-Abba. 8 When the crowd came up and began asking Pilate to do for them what he usually did, 9 he asked them, “Do you want me to set free for you the ‘King of the Jews’?” 10 For it was evident to him that it was out of jealousy that the head cohanim had handed him over. 11 But the head cohanim stirred up the crowd to have him release Bar-Abba for them instead. 12 Pilate again said to them, “Then what should I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 They shouted back, “Put him to death on the stake!” 14 He asked, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they only shouted louder, “Put him to death on the stake!” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, set Bar-Abba free for them; but he had Yeshua whipped and then handed him over to be executed on the stake.
16 The soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the headquarters building) and called together the whole battalion. 17 They dressed him in purple and wove thorn branches into a crown, which they put on him. 18 Then they began to salute him, “Hail to the King of the Jews!” 19 They hit him on the head with a stick, spat on him and kneeled in mock worship of him. 20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they took off the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him and led him away to be nailed to the execution-stake.
21 A certain man from Cyrene, Shim‘on, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country; and they forced him to carry the stake. 22 They brought Yeshua to a place called Gulgolta (which means “place of a skull”), 23 and they gave him wine spiced with myrrh, but he didn’t take it. 24 Then they nailed him to the execution-stake; and they divided his clothes among themselves, throwing dice to determine what each man should get. 25 It was nine in the morning when they nailed him to the stake. 26 Over his head, the written notice of the charge against him read,
THE KING OF THE JEWS
27 On execution-stakes with him they placed two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. 28 [a] 29 People passing by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? 30 Save yourself and come down from the stake!” 31 Likewise, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself!” 32 and, “So he’s the Messiah, is he? The King of Isra’el? Let him come down now from the stake! If we see that, then we’ll believe him!” Even the men nailed up with him insulted him.
33 At noon, darkness covered the whole Land until three o’clock in the afternoon. 34 At three, he uttered a loud cry, “Elohi! Elohi! L’mah sh’vaktani?” (which means, “My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?”)[b] 35 On hearing this, some of the bystanders said, “Look! He’s calling for Eliyahu!” 36 One ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink.[c] “Wait!” he said, “Let’s see if Eliyahu will come and take him down.” 37 But Yeshua let out a loud cry and gave up his spirit. 38 And the parokhet in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 When the Roman officer who stood facing him saw the way he gave up his spirit, he said, “This man really was a son of God!”
40 There were women looking on from a distance; among them were Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of the younger Ya‘akov and of Yosi, and Shlomit. 41 These women had followed him and helped him when he was in the Galil. And many other women were there who had come up with him to Yerushalayim.
42 Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before a Shabbat), as evening approached, 43 Yosef of Ramatayim, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who himself was also looking forward to the Kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead, so he summoned the officer and asked him if he had been dead awhile. 45 After he had gotten confirmation from the officer that Yeshua was dead, he granted Yosef the corpse. 46 Yosef purchased a linen sheet; and after taking Yeshua down, he wrapped him in the linen sheet, laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. 47 Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the mother of Yosi saw where he had been laid.

Mark 15
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.

Sa Harapan ni Pilato(A)
15 Kinaumagahan, nagpulong agad ang mga punong pari, mga pinuno ng bayan, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, at iba pang bumubuo ng Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio. Ipinagapos nila si Jesus, at dinala kay Pilato.
2 “Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?” tanong sa kanya ni Pilato.
“Ikaw na ang may sabi,” tugon naman ni Jesus.
3 Nagharap ng maraming paratang ang mga punong pari laban kay Jesus 4 kaya't siya'y muling tinanong ni Pilato, “Wala ka bang isasagot? Narinig mo ang marami nilang paratang laban sa iyo.”
5 Ngunit hindi pa rin sumagot si Jesus, kaya't nagtaka si Pilato.
Hinatulang Mamatay si Jesus(B)
6 Tuwing Pista ng Paskwa ay nagpapalaya si Pilato ng isang bilanggo, sinumang hilingin sa kanya ng mga taong-bayan. 7 May isang bilanggo noon na ang pangalan ay Barabbas. Kasama siya sa mga nagrebelde, at nakapatay siya noong panahon ng pag-aalsa. 8 Nang lumapit ang mga tao kay Pilato upang hilingin sa kanya na gawin niya ang dati niyang ginagawa, 9 tinanong sila ni Pilato, “Ibig ba ninyong palayain ko ang Hari ng mga Judio?” 10 Sinabi niya ito sapagkat batid ni Pilato na inggit lamang ang nag-udyok sa mga punong pari upang isakdal si Jesus.
11 Ngunit sinulsulan ng mga punong pari ang mga tao na si Barabbas ang hilinging palayain. 12 Kaya't muli silang tinanong ni Pilato, “Ano naman ang gagawin ko sa taong ito na tinatawag ninyong Hari ng mga Judio?”
13 “Ipako siya sa krus!” sigaw ng mga tao.
14 “Bakit, ano ba ang kasalanan niya?” tanong ni Pilato. Ngunit lalo pang sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ipako siya sa krus!”
15 Sa paghahangad ni Pilato na mapagbigyan ang mga tao, pinalaya niya si Barabbas at si Jesus naman ay kanyang ipinahagupit, at pagkatapos ay ibinigay sa kanila upang ipako sa krus.
Hinamak ng mga Kawal si Jesus(C)
16 Dinala ng mga kawal si Jesus sa bakuran ng palasyo ng gobernador, at kanilang tinipon doon ang buong batalyon. 17 Sinuotan nila si Jesus ng balabal na kulay ube. Kumuha sila ng halamang matinik, ginawa iyong korona at ipinutong sa kanya. 18 Pagkatapos, sila'y pakutyang nagpugay at bumati sa kanya, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” 19 Siya'y pinaghahampas sa ulo, pinagduduraan at pakutyang niluhud-luhuran. 20 Matapos kutyain, hinubad nila sa kanya ang balabal na kulay ube, sinuotan ng sarili niyang damit, at inilabas upang ipako sa krus.
Ipinako sa Krus si Jesus(D)
21 Nasalubong(E) nila sa daan ang isang lalaking galing sa bukid, si Simon na taga-Cirene na ama nina Alejandro at Rufo. Pilit nilang ipinapasan sa kanya ang krus ni Jesus. 22 Kanilang dinala si Jesus sa lugar na tinatawag na Golgotha, na ang ibig sabihi'y “Pook ng Bungo.” 23 Siya'y binibigyan nila ng alak na may kahalong mira, ngunit hindi niya ito ininom. 24 Ipinako(F) siya sa krus at saka pinaghati-hatian ang kanyang damit sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan. 25 Ikasiyam ng umaga nang ipako siya sa krus. 26 Isinulat sa itaas ng krus ang paratang laban sa kanya, “Ang Hari ng mga Judio.” 27 May(G) dalawang tulisang kasama niyang ipinako sa krus, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa. [28 Sa gayon ay natupad ang sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Ibinilang siya sa mga kriminal.”][a]
29 Ininsulto(H) siya ng mga nagdaraan at pailing-iling na sinabi, “O ano? Di ba ikaw ang gigiba sa Templo at muling magtatayo nito sa loob ng tatlong araw? 30 Bumabâ ka sa krus at iligtas mo ngayon ang iyong sarili!” 31 Kinutya rin siya ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Sabi nila sa isa't isa, “Iniligtas niya ang iba ngunit hindi mailigtas ang sarili! 32 Makita lamang nating bumabâ sa krus ang Cristo na iyan na Hari daw ng Israel, maniniwala na tayo sa kanya!”
Nilait din siya ng mga nakapakong kasama niya.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(I)
33 Nagdilim sa buong lupain mula sa tanghaling tapat hanggang sa ikatlo ng hapon. 34 Nang(J) ikatlo na ng hapon, sumigaw si Jesus, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” na ang kahulugan ay, “Diyos ko, Diyos ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?”
35 Narinig ito ng ilan sa mga nakatayo roon at kanilang sinabi, “Pakinggan ninyo, tinatawag niya si Elias!” 36 May(K) tumakbo upang kumuha ng isang espongha; ito'y isinawsaw sa maasim na alak, inilagay sa dulo ng isang patpat at ipinasipsip kay Jesus. “Tingnan nga natin kung darating si Elias upang iligtas siya,” sabi niya.
37 Sumigaw nang malakas si Jesus at pagkatapos ay nalagutan ng hininga.
38 At(L) napunit sa gitna ang tabing ng Templo, mula sa itaas hanggang sa ibaba. 39 Nakatayo sa harap ng krus ang opisyal ng mga kawal. Nang makita kung paano namatay si Jesus, sinabi niya, “Tunay ngang Anak ng Diyos ang taong ito!”
40 Naroon(M) din ang ilang babaing nakatanaw mula sa malayo. Kabilang sa kanila si Maria Magdalena, si Salome, at si Maria na ina ng nakababatang si Santiago at ni Jose. 41 Mula pa sa Galilea ay sumusunod na sila at naglilingkod kay Jesus. Naroon din ang iba pang mga babaing kasama ni Jesus na pumunta sa Jerusalem.
Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(N)
42-43 Nang dumidilim na, dumating si Jose na taga-Arimatea, isang iginagalang na kasapi ng Kapulungan. Siya rin ay naghihintay sa pagdating ng kaharian ng Diyos. Dahil iyon ay Araw ng Paghahanda, o bisperas ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, naglakas-loob siyang lumapit kay Pilato upang hingin ang bangkay ni Jesus. 44 Nagtaka si Pilato nang marinig niyang patay na si Jesus kaya't ipinatawag niya ang opisyal at tinanong kung matagal na siyang namatay. 45 Nang malaman niya sa kapitan na talagang patay na si Jesus, pumayag siyang kunin ni Jose ang bangkay. 46 Ibinabâ mula sa krus ang bangkay ni Jesus at binalot sa telang lino na binili ni Jose. Pagkatapos, ang bangkay ay inilagay sa isang libingang hinukay sa bato, at iginulong ni Jose ang isang malaking bato sa pintuan ng libingan. 47 Nagmamasid naman sina Maria Magdalena at Maria na ina ni Jose, at nakita nila kung saan inilibing si Jesus.
