Mark 15

Jesus is brought before Pilate, and the crowd chooses Barabbas. Jesus is scourged, mocked as King of the Jews, crucified between two thieves, and reviled by passersby and religious leaders. Darkness covers the land; Jesus dies, the temple veil is torn, and a Roman centurion confesses Him as the Son of God. Joseph of Arimathaea receives the body and lays it in a tomb watched by women.
