Chapter 15 of Mark—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
  2. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.
  3. And the chief priests accused him of many things.
  4. And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.
  5. But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.
  6. ¶ Now at [a]the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
  7. And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
  8. And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them.
  9. And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto 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 rather release Barabbas unto them.
  12. And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
  13. And they cried out again, Crucify him.
  14. And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.
  15. And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
  16. ¶ And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the [b]Praetorium; and they call together the whole [c]band.
  17. And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
  18. and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
  19. And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees [d]1worshipped him.
  20. And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
  21. ¶ And they [e]compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
  22. ¶ And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
  23. And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
  24. And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.
  25. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
  26. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, the King of the Jews.
  27. And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
  28. [f]2
  29. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the [g]temple, and buildest it in three days,
  30. save thyself, and come down from the cross.
  31. In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; [h]himself he cannot save.
  32. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
  33. ¶ And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole [i]land until the ninth hour.
  34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, 3My God, my God, [j]why hast thou forsaken me?
  35. And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.
  36. And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.
  37. And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
  38. And the veil of the [k]temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
  39. And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he [l]so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was [m]the Son of God.
  40. And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of [n]James the [o]less and of Joses, and Salome;
  41. who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.
  42. ¶ And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
  43. there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
  44. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether [p]he had been any while dead.
  45. And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
  46. And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
  47. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
