Bible Chapter Summary
Mark 15 Summary
The Trial and Crucifixion of Jesus
Jesus is brought before Pilate, who finds no fault in him but yields to the crowd's demand to crucify him. Jesus is mocked, beaten, and led to Golgotha, where he is crucified between two criminals. Darkness covers the land, Jesus cries out and breathes his last, and the temple curtain is torn from top to bottom. A centurion confesses, 'Truly this man was the Son of God.'
