Mark 15:33-41

The Death of Jesus

33 And when the sixth hour^[a] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.^[b]

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^[c] breathed his last, he said, ⁹"Truly this man was the Son^[d] 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.
