Mark 15 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Jesus before Pilate

1 Early ^G2117 in the morning ^G4404 the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 with the elders ^G4245, scribes ^G1122, and the entire ^G3650 [fn]Council ^G4892 immediately ^G2117 held ^G4160 a consultation ^G4824; and they bound ^G1210 Jesus ^G2424 and led ^G667 Him away ^G667, and turned ^G3860 Him over ^G3860 to Pilate ^G4091.

2 Pilate ^G4091 questioned ^G1905 Him: “So You are the King ^G935 of the Jews ^G2453?” And He answered ^G611 G3004 him, “It is as you say ^G3004.” 3 And the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 started accusing ^G2723 Him [fn]of many ^G4183 things ^G4183. 4 But Pilate ^G4091 questioned ^G1905 Him again ^G3825, saying ^G3004, “Do You offer ^G611 nothing ^G3762 in ^G611 answer ^G611? See ^G2396 how ^G4214 many ^G4214 charges ^G2723 they are bringing ^G2723 against ^G2723 You!” 5 But Jesus ^G2424 said ^G611 nothing ^G3762 further ^G3765 in ^G611 answer ^G611, so ^G5620 Pilate ^G4091 was ^G2296 amazed ^G2296.

6 Now ^G1161 at the Passover Feast ^G1859 he used to release ^G630 for them any one ^G1520 prisoner ^G1198 whom ^G3739 they requested ^G3868. 7 And the one named ^G3004 Barabbas ^G912 had been ^G1510 imprisoned ^G1210 with the rebels ^G4955 who ^G3748 had committed ^G4160 murder ^G5408 in the revolt ^G4714. 8 And the crowd ^G3793 went ^G305 up ^G305 and began ^G757 asking ^G154 Pilate to do as he had been accustomed to do ^G4160 for them. 9 Pilate ^G4091 answered ^G611 them, saying ^G3004, “Do you want ^G2309 me to release ^G630 for you the King ^G935 of the Jews ^G2453?” 10 For he was aware ^G1097 that the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 had handed ^G3860 Him over ^G3860 because ^G1223 of envy ^G5355. 11 But the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 stirred ^G383 up ^G383 the crowd ^G3793 to ask him to release ^G630 Barabbas ^G912 for them instead ^G3123. 12 And responding ^G611 again ^G3825, Pilate ^G4091 said ^G3004 to them, “Then ^G3767 what ^G5101 shall I do ^G4160 with Him whom ^G3739 you call ^G3004 the King ^G935 of the Jews ^G2453?” 13 They shouted ^G2896 [fn]back ^G3825, “Crucify ^G4717 Him!” 14 But Pilate ^G4091 said ^G3004 to them, “Why ^G1063, what ^G5101 [fn]evil ^G2556 has He done ^G4160?” But they shouted ^G2896 all ^G4057 the ^G4057 more ^G4057, “Crucify ^G4717 Him!” 15 Intent ^G1014 on satisfying ^G4160 G2425 the crowd ^G3793, Pilate ^G4091 released ^G630 Barabbas ^G912 for them, and after having Jesus ^G2424 flogged ^G5417, he handed ^G3860 Him over ^G3860 to be crucified ^G4717.

Jesus Is Mocked

16 Now ^G1161 the soldiers ^G4757 took ^G520 Him away ^G520 into the [fn]palace ^G833 (that is, the Praetorium ^G4232), and they *called ^G4779 together ^G4779 the whole ^G3650 Roman [fn]cohort ^G4686.

17 And they *dressed ^G1737 Him in [fn]purple ^G4209, and after twisting ^G4120 together ^G4120 a crown ^G4735 of thorns ^G174, they put ^G4060 it on Him; 18 and they began ^G757 saluting ^G782 Him: “Hail ^G5463, King ^G935 of the Jews ^G2453!” 19 And they repeatedly beat ^G5180 His head ^G2776 with a [fn]reed ^G2563 and spit ^G1716 on ^G1716 Him, and kneeling ^G1119 G5087, they bowed ^G4352 down ^G4352 before ^G4352 Him. 20 And after ^G3753 they had mocked ^G1702 Him, they took ^G1562 the [fn]purple ^G4209 cloak off ^G1562 Him and put ^G1746 His own garments ^G2440 on Him. And they *led ^G1806 Him out ^G1806 to crucify ^G4717 Him.

21 And they *compelled ^G29 a passer-by ^G3855 coming ^G2064 from the country ^G68, Simon ^G4613 of ^G2956 Cyrene ^G2956 (the father ^G3962 of Alexander ^G223 and Rufus ^G4504), to carry ^G142 His cross ^G4716.

The Crucifixion

22 Then ^G2532 they *brought ^G5342 Him to the place ^G5117 Golgotha ^G1115, which ^G3739 is translated ^G3177, Place ^G5117 of a Skull ^G2898.

23 And they tried to give ^G1325 Him wine ^G3631 mixed ^G4669 with ^G4669 myrrh ^G4669; but He did not take ^G2983 it. 24 And they *crucified ^G4717 Him, and *divided ^G1266 up ^G1266 His garments ^G2440 among ^G1266 themselves, casting ^G906 [fn]lots ^G2819 for them to decide [fn]what ^G5101 each ^G5101 man ^G5101 would take ^G142. 25 Now ^G1161 it was the [fn]third ^G5154 hour ^G5610 [fn]when ^G2532 they crucified ^G4717 Him. 26 The inscription ^G1923 of the charge ^G156 against Him [fn]read ^G1924, “THE KING ^G935 OF THE JEWS ^G2453.”

27 And they *crucified ^G4717 two ^G1417 [fn]rebels ^G3027 with Him, one ^G1520 on His right ^G1188 and one ^G1520 on His left ^G2176. 28 [fn] 29 Those ^G3588 passing ^G3899 by were [fn]hurling ^G987 abuse ^G987 at Him, shaking ^G2795 their heads ^G2776 and saying ^G3004, “Ha ^G3758! You who are going to destroy ^G2647 the temple ^G3485 and rebuild ^G3618 it in three ^G5140 days ^G2250, 30 save ^G4982 Yourself ^G4572 by coming ^G2597 down ^G2597 from the cross ^G4716!” 31 In the same ^G3668 way ^G3668 the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 also ^G2532, along with the scribes ^G1122, were mocking ^G1702 Him among ^G4314 themselves ^G240 and saying ^G3004, “He saved ^G4982 others ^G243; [fn]He cannot ^G1410 G3756 save ^G4982 Himself ^G1438! 32 Let this Christ ^G5547, the King ^G935 of Israel ^G2474, come ^G2597 down ^G2597 now ^G3568 from the cross ^G4716, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 we may see ^G3708 and believe ^G4100!” Those ^G3588 who were crucified ^G4957 with Him were also ^G2532 insulting ^G3679 Him.

33 When the [fn]sixth ^G1623 hour ^G5610 came ^G1096, darkness ^G4655 [fn]fell ^G1096 over ^G1909 the whole ^G3650 land ^G1093 until ^G2193 the [fn]ninth ^G1766 hour ^G5610. 34 At the [fn]ninth ^G1766 hour ^G5610 Jesus ^G2424 cried ^G994 out ^G994 with a loud ^G3173 voice ^G5456, “ELOI ^G1682, ELOI ^G1682, LEMA ^G2982 SABAKTANEI ^G4518?” which ^G3739 is translated ^G3177, “MY GOD ^G2316, MY GOD ^G2316, WHY ^G1519 G5101 HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ^G1459 ME?” 35 And when some ^G5100 of the bystanders ^G3936 heard ^G191 Him, they began saying ^G3004, “Look ^G2396! He is calling ^G5455 for Elijah ^G2243!” 36 And someone ^G5100 ran ^G5143 and filled ^G1072 a sponge ^G4699 with sour ^G3690 wine ^G3690, put ^G4060 it on a reed ^G2563, and gave ^G4222 Him a ^G4222 drink ^G4222, saying ^G3004, “[fn]Let ^G863 us see ^G3708 if ^G1487 Elijah ^G2243 comes ^G2064 to take ^G2507 Him down ^G2507.” 37 But Jesus ^G2424 let ^G863 out ^G863 a loud ^G3173 cry ^G5456, and [fn]died ^G1606. 38 And the veil ^G2665 of the temple ^G3485 was torn ^G4977 in two ^G1417 from top ^G509 to bottom ^G2736. 39 And when the centurion ^G2760, who was standing ^G3936 [fn]right ^G1727 in ^G1727 front ^G1727 of Him, saw ^G3708 that He [fn]died ^G1606 in ^G3779 this ^G3779 way ^G3779, he said ^G3004, “Truly ^G230 this ^G3778 Man ^G444 was [fn]the Son ^G5207 of God ^G2316!”

40 Now ^G1161 there were also ^G2532 some women ^G1135 watching ^G2334 from a distance ^G3113, among ^G1722 whom ^G3739 were Mary ^G3137 Magdalene ^G3094, Mary ^G3137 the mother ^G3384 of [fn]James ^G2385 the [fn]Less ^G3398 and Joses ^G2500, and Salome ^G4539. 41 When ^G3753 He was in Galilee ^G1056, they used to follow ^G190 Him and serve ^G1247 Him; and there were many ^G4183 other ^G243 women ^G243 who came ^G4872 up with Him to Jerusalem ^G2414.

Jesus Is Buried

42 When evening ^G3798 had already ^G2235 come ^G1096, since ^G1893 it was the preparation ^G3904 day ^G3904, that is, the day ^G4315 before ^G4315 the ^G4315 Sabbath ^G4315,

43 Joseph ^G2501 of Arimathea ^G707 came ^G2064, a prominent ^G2158 member ^G1010 of ^G1010 the ^G1010 Council ^G1010, who ^G3739 was himself ^G846 also ^G2532 waiting ^G4327 for the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316; and he gathered ^G5111 up ^G5111 courage ^G5111 and went ^G1525 in ^G1525 before ^G4314 Pilate ^G4091, and asked ^G154 for the body ^G4983 of Jesus ^G2424. 44 Now ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 wondered ^G2296 if ^G1487 He was dead ^G2348 by ^G2235 this ^G2235 time ^G2235, and summoning ^G4341 the centurion ^G2760, he questioned ^G1905 him as to whether ^G1487 He was already ^G2235 dead ^G599. 45 And after learning ^G1097 this from the centurion ^G2760, he granted ^G1433 the body ^G4430 to Joseph ^G2501. 46 Joseph bought ^G59 a linen ^G4616 cloth ^G4616, took ^G2507 Him down ^G2507, wrapped ^G1750 Him in the linen ^G4616 cloth ^G4616, and laid ^G2698 Him in a tomb ^G3418 which ^G3739 had been ^G1510 cut ^G2998 out ^G2998 in the rock ^G4073; and he rolled ^G4351 a stone ^G3037 against ^G1909 the entrance ^G2374 of the tomb ^G3419. 47 Mary ^G3137 Magdalene ^G3094 and Mary ^G3137 the mother of Joses ^G2500 were watching ^G2334 to see where ^G4226 He was laid ^G5087.
