Mark 15:35-45

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

36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with ¹sour wine, put it on a reed ²and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down."

37 And Jesus ³uttered a loud cry and ⁴breathed his last.

38 And ⁵the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

39 ⁶And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he^[a] breathed his last, he said, ⁷"Truly this man was the Son^[b] of God!"

40 There were also ⁸women looking on ⁹from a distance, among whom were ¹⁰Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and ¹¹Salome.

41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ¹²ministered to him, and there were also many other women who ¹³came up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 ¹⁴And when evening had come, since it was ¹⁵the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathea, ¹⁶a respected member of the Council, who ¹⁷was 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 ¹⁸the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

45 And when he learned from ¹⁹the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
