Mark 15:34-44

34 And at three^[a] Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " Eloi, Eloi, lemá ^[b] sabachtháni ?" which is translated, " My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? " ^[c]

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, 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 of the sanctuary^[d] was split in two from top to bottom.

39 When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He^[e] breathed His last, he said, "This man really was God's Son!"^[f]

40 There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

41 When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

The Burial of Jesus

42 When it was already evening, because it was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went in to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died.
