\subsection{Mark 15} \subsubsection{Jesus Brought Before Pilate} \VS{1} And straightway early after they prepared counsel, the high priests with the elders and scribes and all the Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, [they] led [him] away and gave him over to Pilate. \VS{2} And Pilate questioned him, Are you the king of the Jews? He answers him saying: You say [it]. \VS{3} And the chief priests were accusing much of him. \VS{4} And Pilate again asked him saying: Don't you answer anything? Behold they accuse much [of you]. \VS{5} But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate was being amazed. \subsubsection{Jesus and Barabbas} \VS{6} Now at [the] festival he used to release to them one prisoner that they were requesting. \VS{7} And [there] was [one] being called Barabbas having been bound with rebels, which in the revolt had committed murder. \VS{8} And the crowd having come up began to be asking\fnAiteo{} just as he used to do for them. \VS{9} Then Pilate answered them saying: Do you wish I release to you the king of the Jews? \VS{10} For he was knowing that because of jealousy the chief priests had handed him over. \VS{11} But the chief priests had incited the crowd that he release to them Barabbas instead. \VS{12} And again Pilate answering was saying to them: What therefore should I do [with respect to] whom you call the King of Jews? \VS{13} And they again screamed: Crucify him! \VS{14} Then Pilate was saying to them, Why? What evil did he do? But they screamed even more: Crucify him! \VS{15} And Pilate wishing the crowd to be satisfied, he released to them Barabbas, and handed over Jesus after [he was] flogged that he be crucified. \subsubsection{Jesus is Mocked} \VS{16} Now the soldiers lead him away into the courtyard, which is [the] Praetorium, and they call together the whole cohort. \VS{17} And they dress him [in] purple and put on him [a] crown having woven thorns. \VS{18} And they began [to be] greeting him, Hail, king of the Jews! \VS{19} And they were beating his head with [a] staff and were spitting on him, and kneeling they were worshipping him. \VS{20} And when they ridiculed him they stripped off him the purple and put his robe on him. \subsubsection{The Crucifixion} \VS{21} And they lead him out that they may crucify him. And they compel [one] passing by, a certain Simon [the] Cyrenian coming from [the] countryside, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he bear his cross. \VS{22} And they lead him up to the place Golgotha, which is being translated Place of the Skull. \VS{23} And they were giving to him wine treated with myrrh that however he did not take. \VS{24} And they crucify him, and they divide his robe, throwing lots upon it who would take what. \VS{25} Now it was [the] third hour and they crucified him. \VS{26} And the superscription of his accusation was written, THE KING OF THE JEWS. \VS{27} And two insurrectionists are crucified with him, one on his left. \VS{28} And the scripture was fulfilled, the [one] saying: And with the lawless is he reckoned\footnote{include vs. 28: \koine{} \vulgate{}; omit vs. 28: \sinaiticus{}BD}. \VS{29} And those passing by were slandering him shaking their heads and saying: Aha! The [one] destroying the temple and building [it] in three days, \VS{30} save yourself by coming down from the cross. \VS{31} Likewise also the chief priests ridiculing among one another with the scribes were saying: He saved others, himself he is not able to save! \VS{32} The Christ the king of Israel, let him come down\fnImperative{} now from the cross, that we may see and believe! And those being crucified with him were reproaching him. \subsubsection{Jesus's Death} \VS{33} And when the sixth hour came to pass, darkness came on all the land until the ninth hour. \VS{34} And in the ninth hour Jesus cried out with [a] loud voice: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtani, which is being translated: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? \VS{35} And certain [ones] standing by who heard were saying: Behold he calls Elijah. \VS{36} And someone having run, having filled [a] sponge [with] sour wine, having put [it] on [a] staff, was giving it to drink, saying: Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down. \VS{37} But Jesus, uttering [a] great cry, breathed out his last. \VS{38} And the veil of the temple was rent in two from top to bottom. \VS{39} And when the centurion, the [one] having been present opposite him, saw that having cried out\footnote{``having cried out'' DW\koine{} \vulgate{}; omit: \sinaiticus{}B} he thus breathed out his last, he said: Truly this was the son of God. \VS{40} And there were also women observing from afar, among whom [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary, mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome \VS{41} who, when he was in Galilee, were following him and serving him, also many others who came up to Jerusalem with him. \subsubsection{Jesus's Burial} \VS{42} And having already become evening, [and] since it was [the] day of preparation, which is the day before [a] Sabbath, \VS{43} Joseph of Arimathea having come, [a] respected member of the council, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God, having taken it upon himself, went in to Pilate and requested\fnAiteo{} the body of Jesus. \VS{44} And Pilate wondered if he had already died, and having summoned the centurion, asked if he already died. \VS{45} And confirming [it] from the centurion, he presented the body to Joseph. \VS{46} And when they bought muslin and took [him] down they wrapped him with the muslin and placed him in [a] sepulcher that had been hewn out of rock, and rolled [a] stone up to the door of the sepulcher. \VS{47} And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses were observing where he had been placed.
