The Death of Jesus (MRK 15:33-41)

[15:33] And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

[15:34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

[15:35] And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

[15:36] And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”

[15:37] And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last.

[15:38] And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

[15:39] And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

[15:40] There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

[15:41] When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
