RF MAR 15:1 Before Pilate.
And as soon as the morning arrived, the chief priests, elders, and professors, and the whole senate, held a conference; and binding Jesus, they led Him away, and delivered Him over to Pilate.
RF MAR 15:2 Then Pilate inquired of Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
"You say so," Jesus replied.
RF MAR 15:3 The chief priests then brought many accusations against Him.
RF MAR 15:4 Pilate again asked Him, "Can You say nothing in defence? See how many charges they bring against You."
RF MAR 15:5 But even then Jesus said nothing in reply; so that Pilate was much astonished.
RF MAR 15:6 Now at festival time it was customary for him to liberate for them one prisoner, whoever they might ask for.
RF MAR 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, imprisoned with the rebels, who had committed murder in the rebellion.
RF MAR 15:8 And the mob began to yell out, demanding him to do what he had been accustomed to do for them.
RF MAR 15:9 "Well," said Pilate, in reply to them, "do you wish me to liberate for you the King of the Jews?"
RF MAR 15:10 For he perceived that it was through malice that the chief priests had arraigned Him.
RF MAR 15:11 But the chief priests incited the mob to ask that he might rather liberate Barabbas.
RF MAR 15:12 Pilate, however, then said to them again, "What then do you wish that I should do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
RF MAR 15:13 "Crucify Him!" they shouted in reply.
RF MAR 15:14 "Why, what crime has He committed?" Pilate asked them again. "Crucify Him!" they yelled out more fiercely than before.
RF MAR 15:15 Then Pilate, deciding to satisfy the mob, liberated Barabbas; and after flogging Jesus, handed Him over to be crucified.
RF MAR 15:16 Military Tormentors.
And the soldiers led Him into the courtyard, known as the Palace, where they mustered all the troops.
RF MAR 15:17 And they arrayed Him in a purple robe, and crowned Him with a crown of plaited thorns;
RF MAR 15:18 and began to salute Him with, "Good health to the King of the Jews!"
RF MAR 15:19 while, at the same time, they kept striking Him upon the head with a stick, spitting upon Him, and bowing before Him in homage.
RF MAR 15:20 And when they had insulted Him, they took from off Him the purple robe, clad Him in His own attire, and led Him out for crucifixion.
RF MAR 15:21 And they seized a passer-by, from the country, Simon the Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to accompany them, in order that he might carry the cross.
RF MAR 15:22 And they took Him on to Golgotha (which means Skull-field).
RF MAR 15:23 And they offered Him wine medicated with myrrh; but He refused to drink it.
RF MAR 15:24 They then crucified Him, and divided His clothing among them, casting lots what each should take.
RF MAR 15:25 The Death of Jesus.
It was about nine o'clock when they crucified Him.
RF MAR 15:26 And the inscription of the indictment written over Him was, THE KING OF THE JUDEANS.
RF MAR 15:27 And with Him they crucified two robbers; one on His right, and one on His left. And thus was fulfilled the Scripture,
RF MAR 15:28 which says, HE WAS CATALOGUED WITH CRIMINALS. 1 The passers-by also railed at Him,
RF MAR 15:29 shaking their heads, and exclaiming, "Aha! you Demolisher of the temple, and Rebuilder in three days,
RF MAR 15:30 now save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"
RF MAR 15:31 The chief priests also sneered among themselves with the professors, and remarked, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself!
RF MAR 15:32 You Messiah! you King of Israel! descend now from the cross, so that we may see it, and we will believe!"
—————
1 Isaiah liii. 12
RF MAR 15:33 And those crucified with Him cursed Him. And when twelve o'clock arrived, there was darkness over all the land until three o'clock.
RF MAR 15:34 And at three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani?" which, when translated, means, "My God! My God! to what have You abandoned Me?"
RF MAR 15:35 Then some of the spectators, hearing it, exclaimed, "See! He calls Elijah."
RF MAR 15:36 But one of them ran, and filled a sponge with sour wine; and, placing it upon a cane, offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone! Let us see if Elijah will come to deliver Him!"
RF MAR 15:37 Jesus having given utterance to a deep groan, yielded up His spirit.
RF MAR 15:38 The veil of the temple was then torn in two from the top to the bottom.
RF MAR 15:39 And when the captain on guard opposite to Him, saw that He thus expired, he exclaimed, "This Man was undoubtedly a son of a god!"
RF MAR 15:40 And there were also women looking on from a distance: among whom were Mary the Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the little, and Joses,
RF MAR 15:41 and Salome; who, when He was in Galilee, were His followers, and ministered to Him. And many other women also went up with Him to Jerusalem.
RF MAR 15:42 The Burial.
And evening having now arrived, following which was the preparation, that is, the day preceding the Sabbath,
RF MAR 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea, a much-esteemed nobleman, who was himself expecting the Kingdom of God, came and went boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
RF MAR 15:44 But Pilate wondered if He were yet dead; and, summoning the captain, he inquired if He were already dead.
RF MAR 15:45 And, ascertaining it from the captain, he presented the corpse to Joseph:
RF MAR 15:46 who, having taken it down, wrapped it in a fine linen shroud which he had bought, and placed it in a tomb, which he had hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a large stone over the entrance to the tomb
RF MAR 15:47 And Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, took note of where it was placed.
