Mark 15:34-44

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus ¹cried with a loud voice, ²"Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with ³sour wine, put it on a reed ⁴and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down."

37 And Jesus ⁵uttered a loud cry and ⁶breathed his last.

38 And ⁷the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

39 ⁸And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he^[a] breathed his last, he said, ⁹"Truly this man was the Son^[b] of God!"

40 There were also ¹⁰women looking on ¹¹from a distance, among whom were ¹²Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and ¹³Salome.

41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ¹⁴ministered to him, and there were also many other women who ¹⁵came up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 ¹⁶And when evening had come, since it was ¹⁷the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathea, ¹⁸a respected member of the Council, who ¹⁹was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.^[c] And summoning ²⁰the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.
