Mark 15:22-34

22Then they brought Him to the place [called] Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

23They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh [to dull the pain], but He would not take it.

24And they crucified Him, and divided up His clothes among themselves, casting lots for them to see who should take what.

25It was the third hour (9:00 a.m.) when they crucified Him.

26The inscription of the accusation against Him had been written [above Him]: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

27They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

28[And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with the transgressors.”]

29Those who were passing by were insulting Him with abusive and insolent language, wagging their heads [as a sign of contempt], and saying, “Ha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in [only] three days,

30save Yourself by coming down from the cross!”

31In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were ridiculing and mocking Him among themselves and saying, “He saved others [from death]; He cannot save Himself!

32Let the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe and trust [in Him]!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

33When the sixth hour (noon) came, darkness covered the whole land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
