The soldiers took Yeshua away into the palace, that is, the Roman Governor’s headquarters, and they summoned the whole company of 600 soldiers. They dressed him in purple and plaited a crown out of thorns and put it on him. They saluted him, and mocked, “Greetings, King of the Jews!” Mark 15:16-20 The Source with Hebraic adaptation by Rabbi Lutton
Again and again they kept hitting him over the head with a stick and spat on him. Then they got on their knees and pretended to worship him. • After they made fun of him, they took off the purple clothes and put his own ones back on him, and then took him out to be crucified.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole company of 600 soldiers around him. • They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. After they had woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They knelt down in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Greetings, King of the Jews!” Matthew 27:27-31
They spat on him and kept hitting him over the head with the stick. • After they made fun of him, they took the robe off, put his clothes back on, and took him away to be crucified.
As Yeshua was being taken away, they grabbed Simon, a person from Cyrene. They put the cross on him and made him carry it behind • Yeshua. A large crowd of people followed Yeshua, including women who were mourning and crying. Luke 23:26-28
Yeshua turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t cry over me, cry for yourselves and for your children, because the time will come when you’ll say, ‘Happy are women who have never had children, wombs that were never pregnant, and breasts that never breastfed!’
In those times they will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and they will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ If in fact people do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it’s dry?”
There was a certain person passing by on his way in from the country. He was from Cyrene and his name was Simon. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. They conscripted him to carry Yeshua’ cross. They brought Yeshua to a place named Golgotha, which means “The Skull Place.” Mark 15:21-27
They tried to give him a painkiller of drugged wine, but he didn’t accept it. And they crucified him. They divided his clothes among themselves, casting lots to see who would get what.
It was about nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him was, “The King of the Jews.” • And they crucified two robbers with him – one on his right side and one on his left.
People who passed by abused him. They shook their heads and taunted, “Well, well! So you’re going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days! Come down from the cross and save yourself!” • In the same way too the chief priests and the Bible scholars ridiculed him to each other. Luke 23:29-32
They said, “He saved other people, but he can’t save himself! If he’s the Anointed One, Israel’s King, let him get off the cross right now! We’ll believe it when we see it!”
On their way out they found a person from Cyrene, called Simon. • They conscripted him to carry Yeshua’ cross. When they arrived at a place by the name of Golgotha, which means “Place of a Skull”, they gave Yeshua a drink of wine mixed with a painkiller. After he tasted it, he wouldn’t drink it. Matthew 27:32-38
When they had crucified him they divided his clothes among them by casting lots. Then they sat down and kept watch. Above his head they placed the charge which read, “This is Yeshua, the King of the Jews.” • Two robbers were crucified with him, the one on his right side and the other on his left.
Two others, who were criminals, were taken with him to be executed. When they arrived at the place called “Skull”, they crucified Yeshua there, along with the criminals – one on his right side, and one on his left. • They divided up his clothes by gambling for them. Luke 23:33-34
Yeshua went out to Skull Place (which is called “Golgotha” in Aramaic). He was carrying his own cross. They crucified him in this place with two others – one on each side and Yeshua in the middle. • Pilate had a notice inscribed and had it attached to the cross. The inscription was, “Yeshua of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” John 19:17-22
Many of the Jews read the notice, as the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city. The notice was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘King of the Jews,’ but write that he claimed he was King of the Jews.” • Pilate retorted, “What I’ve written, I’ve written!”
So the soldiers, when they crucified Yeshua, took his coat and divided it into four shares, one for each of them, as well as the shirt. The shirt was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. They said to each other, “Let’s not rip it up, but let’s draw lots to see who will get it.” John 19:23-24
This happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They divided my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for my clothes.” So much for what the soldiers did.
Yeshua’ mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Klopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing near his cross. When Yeshua saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Dear lady, this is your son”, and to the disciple, “This is your mother.” From then on, the disciple took her into his own home. John 19:25-27
The people who went past abused him, shaking their heads. They said, “Hey you! You’re supposed to destroy the temple and build it in three days, so save yourself! If you’re the Son of God, get down from the cross!” Matthew 27:39-44
In the same way the chief priests along with the Bible scholars and elders also mocked, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself! If he’s the King of Israel, he can come down from the cross right now and then we’ll believe him! He trusted God, so God can rescue him now if he really wants to! After all, he did say, ‘I am the Son of God!’” Even the robbers who were crucified with him taunted him in the same • way.
At midday, darkness covered the whole land until 3 p.m. At 3 p.m. Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you desert me?” • When some of the bystanders heard that, they said, “He’s calling Elijah!” Mark 15:33-39
Then someone ran and filled a sponge with the soldiers’ issue of wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Yeshua to drink. “Leave him alone!” the bystanders exclaimed. “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down!”
But Yeshua released a loud sound and breathed his last. • The veil of the temple that separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place was split in half from top to bottom. • When the Roman officer in charge of 100 men who was standing there in front of Yeshua saw how he died, he exclaimed, “This one really was the Son of God!”
The crowd standing by looked on. They sneered at Yeshua and even the rulers did too. “He saved others,” they mocked, “let him save himself if he’s really the Anointed Chosen One of God!” • The soldiers also poked fun at him. They offered him the soldiers’ issue of wine vinegar and said, “If you’re really King of the Jews, save yourself!” Luke 23:35-37
There was a notice written above him, with the words, “This is the King of the Jews.”
One of the two criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: • “Aren’t you the Anointed One! Save yourself, and us too!” • But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you respect God?” he asked. Luke 23:39-43
“You’re under the same sentence yourself! We’re getting what’s coming to us, and fair enough too, but this person hasn’t done anything weird!” • He continued, “Yeshua, remember me when you get into your Realm.” • “Today you will be with me in Paradise,” Yeshua replied.
It was now about midday, and darkness came over the whole land and stayed that way for about three hours. The sun stopped shining. • The veil of the temple was ripped down the middle. Yeshua called out in a loud voice, “Father, I commit my spirit into your hands.” • After he said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:44-46
From midday until 3 p.m. darkness covered all the land. About 3 p.m. Yeshua called out loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, • “My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?” • When some of the bystanders heard this, they exclaimed, “He’s calling for Elijah!” Matthew 27:45-53
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with the soldier’s issue of wine vinegar and put it on a stick, and offered it to him to drink. • The rest said, “Leave him alone - let’s see if Elijah will save him!” • Yeshua cried again with a loud voice and gave up the Spirit.
And the veil of the temple that separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth quaked and the rocks split. The graves were opened and many of the bodies of the people devoted to God who had died were raised up. They came out of the graves after Yeshua’ resurrection, and went into the sacred city and appeared to many.
When the Roman officer in charge of 100 men saw what happened he praised God and said, “This person certainly was right with God!” • When all the spectators saw what happened, they were very upset and went back home. But all his close friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee, stood off at a distance, watching. Luke 23:47-49
The women were watching on from afar. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary (Yeshua and James’ mother – that is, the short James), and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed Yeshua and had materially provided for him. Lots of other women who had come up with Yeshua to Jerusalem were there as well. Mark 15:40-41
Now when the Roman officer in charge of 100 men and those with him who were guarding Yeshua saw the earthquake and everything that happened, they were extremely frightened. “This person truly was the Son of God!” they exclaimed. Matthew 27:54-61
Many women were watching from a distance. They were the women who had followed Yeshua from Galilee and had been materially providing for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
When early evening came, a rich person from Arimathea named Joseph arrived. He too had become a disciple of Yeshua. Joseph went to Pilate to request Yeshua’ body. As a result, Pilate ordered the body to be handed over to him.
When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean piece of fine linen and put it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock. He rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and left. • And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting in front of the tomb.
It was the Preparation Day (which is the day before the Sabbath). That evening, Joseph of Arimathea, an influential Council member, who himself was waiting for God’s Realm, got up the courage and went to Pilate to ask for Yeshua’ body. But Pilate was shocked that Yeshua was already dead so soon. Mark 15:42-47
He summoned the Roman officer in charge of 100 men and asked if Yeshua had been dead for some time. When he found out the facts from the Roman officer in charge of 100 men, he presented the corpse to Joseph.
Joseph brought a piece of fine new linen. He took him down and wrapped him in the piece of fine new linen. Then he put him in a tomb that had been quarried out of rock. He rolled a stone closely up against the entrance of the tomb. • Mary Magdalene and Mary (Yeshua’ mother) took careful note of the location he was put.
There was a man named Joseph, a member of the High Council, an honest civic benefactor who had not agreed with their decisions and actions. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he was waiting eagerly for God’s Realm. Luke 23:50-54
He went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’ body. Then he took it down from the cross, wrapped it in linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock. No one had ever been put into this tomb. It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
The women who had come with Yeshua from Galilee followed Joseph and looked at the tomb and how his body was laid in it. Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumed oils. Luke 23:55-56
On the next day, the day after the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees went as a group to Pilate. They said, “Sir, we remembered that when he was still alive, that imposter said, ‘I am to rise after three days.’ Matthew 27:62-66
So please order that the tomb be secured until the third day, in case his disciples come and steal him, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from among the dead.’ Then this case of fraud will be worse than the first!”
