Mark Chapter 15
So, like, in the morning, the high priests gathered their crew and bound Jesus, then took him to Pilate. Major sus vibes.
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 {him} away, and delivered {him} to Pilate.
Pilate was like, "You the King of the Jews?" and Jesus responded, "You said it, fam."
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest {it}.
The chief priests threw a bunch of charges his way, but he just remained silent, no cap.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
Pilate was shook and asked again, "Aren't you gonna say anything? Look at all these folks testifying against you."
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
But Jesus kept it quiet, and Pilate was genuinely amazed.
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
During that festival, he had a tradition where he would release one prisoner, whoever the people wanted.
Now at {that} feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
There was this guy named Barabbas, all tied up with the squad that caused a riot and had straight-up killed someone.
And there was {one} named Barabbas, {which lay} bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
The crowd was hollering, wanting him to do his usual favor for them.
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire {him to do} as he had ever done unto them.
Pilate threw it out there, "Do you want me to let go of the King of the Jews?"
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
He realized the chief priests were just mad jealous and handed Jesus over.
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
But the chief priests got the crowd hyped up to free Barabbas instead.
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
Pilate was like, "Aight, what should I do with the dude you call the King of the Jews?"
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?
They shouted back, "Crucify him!"
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Pilate was like, "For real, what did he even do?" But they just yelled even louder, "Crucify him!"
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
So Pilate, wanting to keep the vibes chill, let Barabbas go and had Jesus whipped before sending him off to be crucified.
And {so} Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged {him}, to be crucified.
Then the soldiers took him to this spot called the Pretorium and gathered the whole crew.
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. {Praetorium: or, the palace, or, hall of audience}
They draped him in purple and made a thorn crown, sticking it on his head.
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his {head},
They started hyping him up, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
They smacked him on the head with a stick, spat on him, and bowed down like they were worshipping.
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing {their} knees worshipped him.

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.
They took him to a place called Golgotha, which literally means "Skull Place." Super sus name, fr.
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
They offered him some wine mixed with myrrh, but he was like, "Nah, I'm good." No cap.
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received {it} not.
After they nailed him up, they divided his clothes, casting lots for what everyone would get. Savage moves.
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
It was the third hour when they put him on that cross. Just wild, fam.

And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

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,
"Save yourself and come down from that cross," they were all like, hitting him with the insults.
Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
The chief priests were lowkey roasting, saying, "He saved others; he can't even save himself, fr."
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
They were like, "Yo, Christ the King of Israel, just hop down from that cross so we can see and believe." The homies getting crucified with him were also throwing shade.
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.

And some of them that stood by, when they heard {it}, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

And one ran and filled a spunge full 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 him down.

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
The temple's curtain ripped in two from top to bottom, and it was wild.

And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
