Gen Z: Mark 15
1So, like, in the morning, the top priests gathered the squad and tied up Jesus, then took him to Pilate. Major sus vibes.
2Pilate was like, "You the King of the Jews?" and Jesus was like, "You said it, fam."
3The chief priests threw a ton of accusations at him, but he was just silent, no cap.
4Pilate was shook and asked again, "You ain't gonna say anything? Look at all these peeps testifying against you."
5But Jesus stayed quiet, and Pilate was low-key amazed.
6During that festival, he would drop one prisoner free, whoever they wanted.
7There was this dude named Barabbas, all tied up with the crew that started a riot and had straight-up murdered someone.
8The crowd was yelling, wanting him to do his usual thing for them.
9Pilate hit them with, "Do you want me to let go of the King of the Jews?"
10He knew the chief priests were just jealous and handed him over.
11But the chief priests got the crowd hyped to let Barabbas go instead.
12Pilate was like, "Aight, what do you want me to do with the dude you call the King of the Jews?"
13They shouted back, "Crucify him!"
14Pilate was like, "For real, what did he even do?" But they just yelled louder, "Crucify him!"
15So Pilate, wanting to keep the vibes chill, let Barabbas go and had Jesus whipped before sending him to be crucified.
16Then the soldiers took him to this place called the Pretorium and gathered the whole squad.
17They draped him in purple and made a crown of thorns, putting it on his head.
18They started hyping him up, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19They hit him on the head with a stick, spat on him, and bowed down like they were worshipping.
20After they roasted him, they took off the purple, put his own clothes back on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21They got this dude Simon from Cyrene, just chillin' and coming through, to carry his cross. Major rizz with that one.
22They took him to this spot called Golgotha, which is basically "Skull Place." Super sus name, fr.
23They offered him some wine mixed with myrrh, but he was like, "Nah, I'm good." No cap.
24After they nailed him, they split up his clothes, rolling dice for what everyone would snag. Savage moves.
25It was the third hour when they put him on that cross. Just wild, fam.
26And the sign above him said, "THE KING OF THE JEWS." Goated title, for real.
27They also crucified two thieves with him, one on his right and one on his left. Straight up, like a squad.
28And the scripture came through, saying he was counted with the wrongdoers. Vibes.
29People passing by were throwing shade at him, shaking their heads, saying, "Ayo, you wrecked the temple and rebuilt it in three days?"
30"Save yourself and come down from that cross," they were all like, popping off with the insults.
31The chief priests were lowkey roasting, like, “He saved others; he can't even save himself, fr.”
32They were like, “Yo, Christ the King of Israel, just hop down from that cross so we can see and believe.” The homies getting crucified with him were also throwing shade.
33When the sixth hour hit, it was straight-up dark vibes over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34At the ninth hour, Jesus shouted loud, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why you ghosting me?”
35Some peeps nearby heard it and were like, “Ayo, he’s calling for Elias.”
36One dude ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar, put it on a stick, and said, “Chill, let’s see if Elias comes to save him.”
37Jesus yelled with a loud voice and then just let go, no cap.
38The temple's veil got ripped in two from top to bottom, and it was wild.
39The centurion standing there saw how he cried out and let go, and was like, “For real, this man was the Son of God.”
40There were also some women watching from a distance, including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mom of James the less and Joses, and Salome.
41Some women vibed with him in Galilee and were like, "We got you," and they rolled up to Jerusalem too.
42So, when evening hit, it was the day before the Sabbath, and everyone was prepping, no cap.
43Joseph of Arimathea, a total legend waiting for God's kingdom, popped off and went to Pilate to ask for Jesus' body.
44Pilate was shook, wondering if Jesus was already dead; he called the centurion to check if he had been out for a minute.
45Once he got the tea from the centurion, he handed the body over to Joseph.
46Joseph copped some fine linen, took Jesus down, wrapped him up, and laid him in a rock tomb, rolling a stone to seal it.
47Mary Magdalene and Mary, Joses' mom, were there, peeping where he was laid, fr.
