Marcos 15

1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

He answered, "So you say."

3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him. 7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them. 9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" 10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. 12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"

But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. 17 They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. 20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross. 22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." 23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. 25 It was the third hour*15:25 9:00 a.m. when they crucified him. 26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: "THE KING OF THE JEWS." 27 With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 The Scripture was fulfilled which says, "He was counted with transgressors."*15:28 NU omits verse 28.

29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can’t save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him."*15:32 TR omits "him" Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

33 When the sixth hour*15:33 or, noon had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.*15:33 3:00 p.m. 34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"✝15:34 Psalms 22:1

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. 45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

Ko Īhu i te Aroaro o Pirato

1 Ā, mea kau ake te ata, ka rūnanga ngā tohunga nui, ngā kaumātua, ngā karaipi, me te rūnanga katoa, ā, ka herea e rātou a Īhu, ka ārahina atu, ā, tukua atu ana ki a Pirato.

2 Ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, "Ko koe rānei te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?"

Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ia, "Kua kōrerotia nā e koe."

3 He maha hoki ngā mea i whakapaea ki a ia e ngā tohunga nui. 4 Ka ui anō a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, "Kāhore āu kupu whakahoki? Nā te tini o ngā kupu e kōrero nei rātou mōu."

5 Heoi, kāhore a Īhu i whakahoki atu anō; nō, ka mīharo a Pirato.

Ka Tukua a Īhu kia Rīpekatia

6 Nā, i taua hākari kotahi te herehere e tukua ana e ia ki a rātou, ko tā rātou e īnoi ai. 7 Nā, i reira tētahi tangata ko Parapa te ingoa, e here tahi ana me ōna hoa tutū, he hunga i patu tangata i te ngangaretanga. 8 Nā, ka haere te mano, ka anga, ka tono ki a ia kia pērātia me tāna i mea ai ki a rātou i mua.

9 Nā, ka whakahoki a Pirato ki a rātou, ka mea, "E pai ana rānei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?" 10 I mahara hoki ia he hae i tukua ai ia e ngā tohunga nui. 11 Otirā, ka whakatūtehutia e rātou te mano, kia tukua e ia ko Parapa kē ki a rātou.

12 Nā, ka whakahoki anō a Pirato, ka mea ki a rātou, "He aha oti tā koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ahau ki tēnei e huaina nei e koutou ko te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?"

13 Ka karanga anō rātou, "Rīpekatia!"

14 Nā, ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, "He aha koia tāna kino i mea ai?"

Heoi, nui noa atu tā rātou hāmama, "Rīpekatia ia!"

15 Nā, i tōna hiahia kia whakamārietia te mano, tukua ana e Pirato a Parapa ki a rātou, ā, ka oti a Īhu te whiu, ka tukua kia rīpekatia.

Ka Whakatoitoi ngā Hōia i a Īhu

16 Nā, ka ārahina ia e ngā hōia ki te marae, arā, ki te Whare Whakawā, ā, kārangarangatia ana te rōpū katoa. 17 Ka whakakākahuria ia ki te kākahu pāpura, ā, ka oti tētahi karauna tātarāmoa te whiri, ka pōtaea ki a ia. 18 Nā, ka anga rātou, ka oha ki a ia, "Tēnā koe, e te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai!" 19 Patua ana e rātou tōna mātenga ki te kākaho, tuwha ana ki a ia, ka tuku i ngā turi ki a ia, ā, koropiko ana ki a ia. 20 Ā, nō ka mutu tā rātou taunu ki a ia, ka tangohia te kahu pāpura i a ia, nā, whakakākahuria ana ia ki ōna ake kākahu, ā, ārahina ana ia kia rīpekatia.

Ka Ripekatia a Īhu

21 Nā, ka meinga e rātou tētahi tangata e tika ana nā reira, a Haimona o Hairini, i ahu mai i ngā whenua, ko te pāpā o Arēhanera rāua ko Rupuha, kia haere me rātou, kia riro ai māna e amo tōna rīpeka. 22 Nā, ka ārahina ia ki tētahi wāhi, ki Korokota, tōna tikanga ina, whakamāoritia "Ko te Wāhi Angaanga." 23 Ā, hoatu ana ki a ia he wāina, he mea whakananu ki te maira, kia inumia; otirā, kīhai i tangohia e ia. 24 Ā, rīpekatia ana ia e rātou, ka wehewehea ōna kākahu, he mea maka ki te rota, kia kitea ai ko te aha e riro i tētahi, i tētahi.

25 Nā, ko te toru tērā o ngā hāora, ā, ka rīpekatia ia e rātou. 26 Ko te mea i whakawākia ai ia i tuhituhia ki runga: KO TE KĪNGI O NGĀ HŪRAI. 27 Nā, tokorua ngā tāhae i rīpekatia ngātahitia me ia; ko tētahi ki matau, ko tētahi ki tōna mauī. 28 Nā, ka rite te karaipiture e mea nei, "I tāua ngātahitia ia me te hunga hara." 29 Ko te hunga e hāereere ana i reira ka tāwai ki a ia, ka rūrū i ō rātou mātenga, ka mea, "Ha, ko koe ka whakahoro nei i te whare tapu, ka hangā nei anō i ngā rā e toru! 30 Whakaora i a koe anō, ka heke iho i te rīpeka!"

31 Waihoki ko ngā tohunga nui ka tāwai i a ia, rātou ko ngā karaipi, ka mea, "Ko ērā atu i whakaorangia e ia, tē taea e ia te whakaora a ia ake anō! 32 Tēnā rā, kia heke iho āianei a te Karaiti, te Kīngi o Īharaira, i te rīpeka, kia kite ai tātou, kia whakapono ai." I tāwai hoki ki a ia te hunga i rīpekatia ngātahitia me ia.

Te Matenga o Īhu

33 Ā, nō ka tae ki te ono o ngā hāora, ka pōuri a runga o te whenua katoa, taea noatia te iwa o ngā hāora. 34 Ā, i te iwa o ngā hāora ka karanga a Īhu, he nui te reo, ka mea, "Eroi, Eroi, rama hapakatani?" Ko te tikanga tēnei ina whakamāoritia, "E tōku Atua, e tōku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?"

35 Ā, nō te rongonga o ētahi o te hunga e tū ana i reira, ka mea, "Nanā, e karanga ana ia i a Irāia."

36 Nā, ka oma tētahi, ka whakakī i tētahi hautai ki te winika, whakanohoia ana ki te kākaho, ka hoatu kia inumia e ia, ka mea, "Kāti; tēnā kia kite tātou me kore a Irāia e haere mai ki te tango i a ia ki raro."

37 Nā, he nui te reo i puaki i a Īhu, ā, hemo ake.

38 Ā, ka wāhia te ārai o te temepara i waenganui pū mai i runga ki raro. 39 Ā, nō te kitenga o te keneturio, e tū hāngai atu ana ki a ia, i pērā te āhua o tāna tukunga i tōna wairua, ka mea ia, "He pono ko te Tama a te Atua tēnei tangata."

40 Nā, i reira ētahi wāhine e mātakitaki ana mai i tawhiti; i roto i a rātou a Meri Makarini, a Meri hoki whaea o Hēmi, te mea iti, rāua ko Hohi, me Hāromi; 41 arā, ko ngā wāhine i aru nei i a ia, i a ia i Karirī, i mahi mea nei māna; me ētahi atu wāhine tokomaha i haere tahi mai nei me ia ki Hiruhārama.

Te Tanumanga o Īhu

42 Nā, ka ahiahi, i te mea ko te rā Takanga, arā, ko te rā i mua ake o te hāpati. 43 Ka haere mai a Hōhepa o Arimatia, he rangatira rūnanga, he tangata nui tonu, e tatari ana anō hoki ia ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua; ā, ka haere māia tonu ki a Pirato, ka īnoi i te tinana o Īhu. 44 Nā, ka mīharo a Pirato, hua noa kāhore anō i mate; ka karangatia e ia te keneturio, ka ui ki a ia, mehemea kua mate atu rā ia. 45 Ā, nō ka rongo ki te keneturio kua mate, ka whakaaetia e ia te tinana ki a Hōhepa. 46 Nā, ka hokona e tērā he rīnena, ka tangohia mai ia ki raro, ā, takaia ana ki te rīnena; whakatakotoria ana ia ki roto ki te urupā kua hāua atu ki te kāmaka, ā, whakatakā atu ana he kōhatu ki te kūwaha o te urupā. 47 I kite a Meri Makarini, rāua ko Meri whaea o Hohi, i te wāhi i whakatakotoria ai ia.
