Mark 15:33-47 ▼

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.
