Mark 15 of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible recounts Jesus's trial before Pilate, where he is questioned but remains largely silent. The account details the crowd's demand for Barabbas's release and Jesus's crucifixion. The Roman soldiers mock Jesus before leading him to Golgotha where Simon of Cyrene is compelled to carry the cross. The text describes Jesus's crucifixion between two rebels, his last words, and the tearing of the temple curtain. The chapter concludes with Joseph of Arimathea burying Jesus's body in a tomb, observed by Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph.
