Mark 15

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 First thing in the morning, the chief priests, together with the elders and scribes and the rest of theSanhedrin, had their plan ready. They had Jesus bound and took him away and handed him over to Pilate.	1 And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 Pilate put to him this question, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' He replied, 'It is you who say it.'	2 And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests brought many accusations against him.	3 And the chief priests accused him in many things.
4 Pilate questioned him again, 'Have you no reply at al ? See how many accusations they are bringingagainst you!'	4 And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.
5 But, to Pilate's surprise, Jesus made no further reply.	5 But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.
6 At festival time Pilate used to release a prisoner for them, any one they asked for.	6 Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
7 Now a man called Barabbas was then in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during theuprising.	7 And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.
8 When the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate the customary favour,	8 And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them.
9 Pilate answered them, 'Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?'	9 And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?
10 For he realised it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.	10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.
11 The chief priests, however, had incited the crowd to demand that he should release Barabbas forthem instead.	11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12 Then Pilate spoke again, 'But in that case, what am I to do with the man you call king of the Jews?'	12 And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?
13 They shouted back, 'Crucify him!'	13 But they again cried out: Crucify him.
14 Pilate asked them, 'What harm has he done?' But they shouted al the louder, 'Crucify him!'	14 And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.
15 So Pilate, anxious to placate the crowd, released Barabbas for them and, after having Jesusscourged, he handed him over to be crucified.	15 And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 The soldiers led him away to the inner part of the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and cal ed thewhole cohort together.	16 And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band:
17 They dressed him up in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on him.	17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.
18 And they began saluting him, 'Hail, king of the Jews!'	18 And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him; and they went down on their knees to do himhomage.	19 And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.
20 And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the purple and dressed him in his ownclothes. They led him out to crucify him.	20 And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.
21 They enlisted a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in fromthe country, to carry his cross.	21 And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.
22 They brought Jesus to the place cal ed Golgotha, which means the place of the skul .	22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.	23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.
24 Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get.	24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.	25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 The inscription giving the charge against him read, 'The King of the Jews'.	26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.	27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28	28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.
29 The passers-by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, 'Aha! So you would destroy theTemple and rebuild it in three days!	29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again;
30 Then save yourself; come down from the cross!'	30 Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
31 The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words,'He saved others, he cannot save himself.	31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.' Eventhose who were crucified with him taunted him.	32 Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.	33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?' which means, 'MyGod, my God, why have you forsaken me?'	34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, 'Listen, he is cal ing on Elijah.'	35 And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias.
36 Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying,'Wait! And see if Elijah wil come to take him down.'	36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down.
37 But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.	37 And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.	38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
39 The centurion, who was standing in front of him, had seen how he had died, and he said, 'In truth thisman was Son of God.'	39 And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God.
40 There were some women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary whowas the mother of James the younger and Joset, and Salome.	40 And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:
41 These used to follow him and look after him when he was in Galilee. And many other women werethere who had come up to Jerusalem with him.	41 Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 It was now evening, and since it was Preparation Day -- that is, the day before the Sabbath-	42 And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath,)
43 there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent member of the Council, who himself lived in the hopeof seeing the kingdom of God, and he boldly went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.	43 Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate, astonished that he should have died so soon, summoned the centurion and enquired if he hadbeen dead for some time.	44 But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.
45 Having been assured of this by the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph	45 And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 who bought a shroud, took Jesus down from the cross, wrapped him in the shroud and laid him in atomb which had been hewn out of the rock. He then rol ed a stone against the entrance to the tomb.	46 And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47 Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joset took note of where he was laid.	47 And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.
