Mark 15:33-47 ▼

33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,

34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?” Which is, being interpreted, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?”

35 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, “Behold, He calls Elijah”;

36 and one having run, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having also put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink, saying, “Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

38 and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom,

39 and the centurion who was standing opposite Him, having seen that, having so cried out, He yielded the spirit, said, “Truly this Man was [the] Son of God.”

40 And there were also women beholding far off, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

41 who also, when He was in Galilee, were following Him and were ministering to Him, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

42 And now evening having come, seeing it was the Preparation, that is, before Sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who also himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God, came, boldly entered in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate wondered if He were already dead, and having called near the centurion, questioned him if He were long dead,

45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb,

47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where He is laid.
