Mark 15:24-47 ▼

24 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves, casting lots for them, what each one should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription containing his accusation was written above him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: And he was numbered with transgressors.

29 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying: Aha! you that destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

30 save yourself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, speaking in derision one to another, said: He saved others; himself he can not save.

32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. Those also who were crucified with him, reproached him.

33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land, till the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani? which is, when translated, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said: Behold, he calls for Elijah.

36 And one ran, and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying: Wait; let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.

37 But Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, gave up his spirit.

38 And the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion that was standing opposite him, saw that he thus cried out, and gave up his spirit, he said: Truly, this man was the Son of God.

40 And there were, at a distance, women also, looking on; among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome;

41 who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and many other women, who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

42 And when the evening had come, because it was the preparation, which is the eve of the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who was himself looking for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

44 But Pilate was astonished that he was already dead; and having called the centurion to him, he inquired of him whether he had been any while dead.

45 And having learned the fact from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher that had been hewed out of a rock: and he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
