Joe: Alright, so we got the Bible Expert on the show to give us an overview of the Bible chapter by chapter. Let's dive into Mark 15. What's going on there?
Bible Expert: Well, Mark 15 is the story of Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. Pilate finds no fault with Jesus, but the chief priests and elders pressure him to sentence Jesus to death. Pilate reluctantly agrees.
Joe: Wait wait wait, so the Romans were in charge of the Jews back then?
Bible Expert: Yes, that's correct.
Joe: Interesting. Okay, so what happens next?
Bible Expert: After Jesus is sentenced, he is mocked by the soldiers and then crucified. Jesus dies and is buried in a tomb, but on the third day he is resurrected.
Joe: Woah, so Jesus actually died and then came back to life?
Jamie: (from off-screen) I Googled it and it's true!
Joe: Wow, that's crazy. Alright, so what happens after Jesus is resurrected?
Bible Expert: After his resurrection, Jesus appears to his disciples and commissions them to spread the Good News of the Gospel. He then ascends into Heaven.
Joe: Wow, that's some serious stuff. Alright, well that wraps up Mark 15. Thanks for coming on the show and giving us the rundown!
