Mar 15:1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

Mar 15:2 Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."

Mar 15:3 The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

Mar 15:4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!"

Mar 15:5 But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

Mar 15:6 Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

Mar 15:7 The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

Mar 15:8 The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

Mar 15:9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

Mar 15:10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

Mar 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.

Mar 15:12 Answering again, Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

Mar 15:13 They shouted back, "Crucify Him!"

Mar 15:14 But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"

Mar 15:15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Mar 15:16 The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman cohort.

Mar 15:17 They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;

Mar 15:18 and they began to acclaim Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

Mar 15:19 They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.

Mar 15:20 After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

Mar 15:21 They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.

Mar 15:22 Then they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

Mar 15:23 They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it.

Mar 15:24 And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

Mar 15:25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

Mar 15:26 The inscription of the charge against Him read, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Mar 15:27 They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

Mar 15:28 which says, "AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS."]

Mar 15:29 Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

Mar 15:30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

Mar 15:31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself.

Mar 15:32 Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

Mar 15:33 When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.

Mar 15:34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

Mar 15:35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

Mar 15:36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."

Mar 15:37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.

Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Mar 15:39 When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

Mar 15:40 There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.

Mar 15:41 When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Mar 15:42 When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

Mar 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

Mar 15:44 Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

Mar 15:45 And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

Mar 15:46 Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

Mar 15:47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was laid.

--------

Mat 27:1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

Mat 27:2 and they bound Him, and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor.

Mat 27:3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Mat 27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"

Mat 27:5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

Mat 27:6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."

Mat 27:7 And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.

Mat 27:8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

Mat 27:9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled. "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;

Mat 27:10 and they gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me."

Mat 27:11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

Mat 27:12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

Mat 27:13 Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

Mat 27:14 And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

Mat 27:15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

Mat 27:16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

Mat 27:17 So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

Mat 27:18 For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

Mat 27:19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."

Mat 27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

Mat 27:21 But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

Mat 27:22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!"

Mat 27:23 And he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

Mat 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

Mat 27:25 And all the people said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

Mat 27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Mat 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

Mat 27:28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

Mat 27:29 And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

Mat 27:30 They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

Mat 27:31 After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

Mat 27:32 As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

Mat 27:33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

Mat 27:34 they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

Mat 27:35 And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

Mat 27:36 And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.

Mat 27:37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Mat 27:38 At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

Mat 27:39 And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads

Mat 27:40 and saying, "You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

Mat 27:41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,

Mat 27:42 "He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

Mat 27:43 He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He delights in Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Mat 27:44 The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

Mat 27:45 Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

Mat 27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

Mat 27:47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

Mat 27:48 Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

Mat 27:49 But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

Mat 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

Mat 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.

Mat 27:52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

Mat 27:54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

Mat 27:55 Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

Mat 27:56 Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Mat 27:57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

Mat 27:58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

Mat 27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Mat 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.

Mat 27:61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

Mat 27:62 Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,

Mat 27:63 and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I am to rise again.'

Mat 27:64 Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead, 'and the last deception will be worse than the first."

Mat 27:65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how."

Mat 27:66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.
