Was It a Good Friday for Jesus? Gospel of Mark 2019 NKJV

Mark 15:1-5 Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

The Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him,

"It is as you say."

And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.

Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do you not answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!"

But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Mark 15:16-20 Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.

And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,

and began, to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

Then they stuck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put on His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

Mark 15:22-37 After they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

And the inscription of His accusation was written above THE KING OF THE JEWS.

With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.

So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

"save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save.

"Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,

"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"

which is translated,

"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!"

Then someone ran and filed a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."

And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

Jesus has Risen

Mark 16:1-14 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

And they said among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large.

And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed, You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

"But go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you."

So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

Later he appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after He had risen.
