Mark 15:33–41

The Death of Jesus

33 When c it was noon, d darkness came over the whole land e until three in the afternoon. f g 34 And at three h Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá i sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” j k

35 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah!” 36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, l and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down!”

37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last. 38 Then the curtain m of the sanctuary n was split in two from top to bottom. 39 When the * centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He o breathed His last, he said, “This man really was God’s Son!” p q

40 There r were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were * Mary Magdalene, s Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When He was in Galilee, t they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem. u
