Mark 15:21-41Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Crucified between Two Criminals 21) They forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus’ cross. He was Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus. 22) And they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place ). 23) They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it. 24) Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get. 25) Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified Him. 26) The inscription of the charge written against Him was: THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27) They crucified two criminals with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28) So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws. 29) Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! The One who would demolish the sanctuary and build it in three days, 30) save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31) In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself! 32) Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him. The Death of Jesus 33) When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34) And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35) When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah!” 36) Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down!” 37) But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last. 38) Then the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom. 39) When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “This man really was God’s Son!” 40) There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41) When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

Mk 15:1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
Mk 15:2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. Mk 15:3 The chief priests accused him of many things. Mk 15:4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.” Mk 15:5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. Mk 15:6 Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested. Mk 15:7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. Mk 15:8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. Mk 15:9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, Mk 15:10 knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. Mk 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. Mk 15:12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them. Mk 15:13 “Crucify him!” they shouted. Mk 15:14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” Mk 15:15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. Mk 15:16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. Mk 15:17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. Mk 15:18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” Mk 15:19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. Mk 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
Mk 14:1 Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him.
Mk 14:2 “But not during the Feast,” they said, “or the people may riot.” Mk 14:3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Mk 14:4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? Mk 14:5 It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. Mk 14:6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. Mk 14:7 The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. Mk 14:8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. Mk 14:9 I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Mk 14:10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, i went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. Mk 14:11 They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over. |
