Mark 15
Jesus before Pilate
Καὶ εὐθὲως ἐπὶ τὸ πρωῒ συμβούλιον ποιήσαντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ γραμματέων καὶ ὅλον τὸ συνέδριον δήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπήνεγκαν καὶ παρέδωκαν τῷ Πιλάτῳ
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 away, him and delivered him to Pilate.
καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Πιλᾶτος Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σὺ λέγεις
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
καὶ κατηγόρουν αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς πολλά· αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων Οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν ἴδε πόσα σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίθη ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν Πιλᾶτον
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
Pilate delivers Jesus to be crucified and releases Barabbas
Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν ἀπέλυεν αὐτοῖς ἕνα δέσμιον ὅνπερ ἠτοῦντο
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
ἦν δὲ ὁ λεγόμενος Βαραββᾶς μετὰ τῶν συστασιαστῶν δεδεμένος οἵτινες ἐν τῇ στάσει φόνον πεποιήκεισαν
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
καὶ ἀναβοήσας ὁ ὄχλος ἤρξατο αἰτεῖσθαι καθὼς ἀεί ἐποίει αὐτοῖς
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς λέγων Θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
ἐγίνωσκεν γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παραδεδώκεισαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς ἀνέσεισαν τὸν ὄχλον ἵνα μᾶλλον τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἀπολύσῃ αὐτοῖς
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἀποκριθεὶς πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τί οὖν θέλετε ποιήσω ὃν λέγετε βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων
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?
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Τί γὰρ κακόν ἐποίησεν οἱ δὲ περισσοτέρως ἔκραξαν Σταύρωσον αὐτόν
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος βουλόμενος τῷ ὄχλῳ τὸ ἱκανὸν ποιῆσαι ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας ἵνα σταυρωθῇ
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
The soldiers mock Jesus
Οἱ δὲ στρατιῶται ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔσω τῆς αὐλῆς ὅ ἐστιν πραιτώριον καὶ συγκαλοῦσιν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν
And the soldiers led away him into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
καὶ ἐνδύουσιν αὐτὸν πορφύραν καὶ περιτιθέασιν αὐτῷ πλέξαντες ἀκάνθινον στέφανον·
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀσπάζεσθαι αὐτόν Χαῖρε βασιλεῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων·
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
καὶ ἔτυπτον αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν καλάμῳ καὶ ἐνέπτυον αὐτῷ καὶ τιθέντες τὰ γόνατα προσεκύνουν αὐτῷ
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
καὶ ὅτε ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῷ ἐξέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὴν πορφύραν καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ἱμάτια τὰ ἴδια καὶ ἐξάγουσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα σταυρώσωσιν αὐτόν
And when they had mocked him, they took off from the purple him, and put his own clothes on him, and led out him to crucify him.
The crucifixion at Golgotha
Καὶ ἀγγαρεύουσιν παράγοντά τινα Σίμωνα Κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον ἀπ' ἀγροῦ τὸν πατέρα Ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ Ῥούφου ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ
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.
καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ Γολγοθᾶ τόπον ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον Κρανίου Τόπος
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῷ πιεῖν ἐσμυρνισμένον οἶνον· ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἔλαβεν
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
καὶ σταυρώσαντες αὐτὸν διεμερίζον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ βάλλοντες κλῆρον ἐπ' αὐτὰ τίς τί ἄρῃ
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
καὶ ἦν ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τῆς αἰτίας αὐτοῦ ἐπιγεγραμμένη Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ σταυροῦσιν δύο λῃστάς ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
καὶ ἐπληρώθη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα Καὶ μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Mockery at the cross
Καὶ οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ λέγοντες Οὐὰ ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις οἰκοδομῶν
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,
ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐμπαίζοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους μετὰ τῶν γραμματέων ἔλεγον Ἄλλους ἔσωσεν ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται σῶσαι·
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμεν καὶ οἱ συνεσταυρωμένοι αὐτῷ ὠνείδιζον αὐτόν
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.
The death of Jesus
γενομένης δὲ ὥρας ἕκτης σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ' ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐννάτης
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
καὶ τῇ ὥρᾳ τῇ ἐννάτῃ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων Ελωι ελωι λαμμᾶ σαβαχθανι ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ θεός μου ὁ θεός μου εἰς τί με ἐγκατέλιπές
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?
καί τινες τῶν παρεστηκότων ἀκούσαντες ἔλεγον Ἰδού Ἠλίαν φωνεῖ
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
δραμὼν δέ εἶς καὶ γεμίσας σπόγγον ὄξους περιθεὶς τε καλάμῳ ἐπότιζεν αὐτόν λέγων Ἄφετε ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται Ἠλίας καθελεῖν αὐτόν
And one ran and filled full a spunge 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 down. him
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀφεὶς φωνὴν μεγάλην ἐξέπνευσεν
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη εἰς δύο ἀπὸ ἄνωθεν ἕως κάτω
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ κεντυρίων ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως κράξας ἐξέπνευσεν εἶπεν Ἀληθῶς ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος υἱὸς ἦν θεοῦ
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so out, cried and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Ἦσαν δὲ καὶ γυναῖκες ἀπὸ μακρόθεν θεωροῦσαι ἐν αἷς ἦν καὶ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ καὶ Ἰωσῆ μήτηρ καὶ Σαλώμη
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;
αἳ καὶ ὅτε ἦν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ καὶ ἄλλαι πολλαὶ αἱ συναναβᾶσαι αὐτῷ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα
(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
The burial by Joseph of Arimathaea
Καὶ ἤδη ὀψίας γενομένης ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
ἦλθεν Ἰωσὴφ ὁ ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας εὐσχήμων βουλευτής ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν προσδεχόμενος τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ τολμήσας εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Πιλᾶτον καὶ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counseller, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐθαύμασεν εἰ ἤδη τέθνηκεν καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν κεντυρίωνα ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν εἰ πάλαι ἀπέθανεν·
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
καὶ γνοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ κεντυρίωνος ἐδωρήσατο τὸ σῶμα τῷ Ἰωσήφ
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
καὶ ἀγοράσας σινδόνα καὶ καθελὼν αὐτὸν ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι καὶ κατέθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνημείῳ ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας καὶ προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου
And he bought fine linen, and took down, him 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.
ἡ δὲ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία Ἰωσῆ ἐθεώρουν ποῦ τίθεται
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
