Mark 15:35-47 ▼

35 And certain ones of those standing by said, Behold, He is calling Elijah.

36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and reaching it forth on a reed, gave Him drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.

37 And Jesus, sending forth a loud voice, expired.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top even to the bottom.

39 And the centurion standing by in front of Him, seeing that He thus expired, said; Surely this man was the Son of God.

40 And there were women looking on from a distance: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and Joses, and Salome;

41 who when He was in Galilee, were accustomed both to follow Him, and minister unto Him. And many other women who came up to Jerusalem along with Him.

42 And it already being evening, since it was the Preparation, which is the day before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph, who is from Arimathea, an honorable councilor, who also himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; having taken courage came to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate was astonished if He had died already. And having called the centurion, asked him if He was already dead.

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

46 And having purchased linen, and taking Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen, and placed Him in a sepulcher which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking where He is placed.
