The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus Christ- Mark 15

Mark 15:1 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.

Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked him,  Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto  him, Thou sayest it.

Mark 15:3 And the chief priests accused  him of many things: but he answered nothing. 

Mark 15:4 And  Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?  behold how many things they witness against thee. 

Mark 15:5  But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.  

Mark 15:6 Now at that feast he released unto them one  prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 

Mark 15:7 And there was  one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that  had made insurrection with him, who had committed  murder in the insurrection. 

Mark 15:8 And the multitude crying  aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto  them. 

Mark 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that  I release unto you the King of the Jews? 

Mark 15:10 For he  knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.  

Mark 15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he  should rather release Barabbas unto them. 

Mark 15:12 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? 

Mark 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.  

Mark 15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he  done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify  him.   

Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people,  released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he  had scourged him, to be crucified. 

Mark 15:16 And the  soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and  they call together the whole band. 

Mark 15:17 And they clothed  him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it  about his head, 

Mark 15:18 And began to salute him, Hail,  King of the Jews! 

Mark 15:19 And they smote him on the head  with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees  worshipped him. 

Mark 15:20 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. 

Mark 15:21 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. 

Mark 15:22 And they bring him unto the place  Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.  

Mark 15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with  myrrh: but he received it not. 

Mark 15:24 And when they had  crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon  them, what every man should take. 

Mark 15:25 And it was the  third hour, and they crucified him. 

Mark 15:26 And the  superscription of his accusation was written over, THE  KING OF THE JEWS. 

Mark 15:27 And with him they crucify  two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his  left. 

Mark 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,  And he was numbered with the transgressors. 

Mark 15:29 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, 

Mark 15:30 Save thyself, and come down from  the cross. 

Mark 15:31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking  said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others;  himself he cannot save. 

Mark 15:32 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.  

Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was  darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 

Mark 15:34  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? 

Mark 15:35  And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,  Behold, he calleth Elias. 

Mark 15:36 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. 

Mark 15:37 And Jesus cried with a  loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 

Mark 15:38 And the veil of  the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.  

Mark 15:39 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. 

Mark 15:40 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; 

Mark 15:41 (Who also, when he was  in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and  many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.  

Mark 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it  was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,  

Mark 15:43 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. 

Mark 15:44  And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling  unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been  any while dead. 

Mark 15:45 And when he knew it of the  centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 

Mark 15:46 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.   

Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of  Joses beheld where he was laid.
