Mark 15:28-38

28 [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."]

29 Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, ¹wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to ²destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, "³He saved others; He cannot * save Himself.

32 "Let this Christ, ⁴the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" ⁵Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

33 ⁶When the ⁷sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ⁸ninth hour.

34 At the ⁹ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "¹⁰ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY * HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."

37 ¹¹And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.

38 ¹²And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
