Mark 15:16-41

16ThenG1161 theG3588 soldiersG4757 led Jesus awayG520G846 intoG2080 theG3588 palaceG833 (thatG3739 isG1510, the PraetoriumG4232) andG2532 calledG4779 theG3588 wholeG3650 company togetherG4686. 17They dressedG1737 HimG846 in a purple robeG4209, twisted togetherG4120 a crownG4735 of thornsG174, and set it onG4060 HisG846 head. 18AndG2532 they beganG756 to saluteG782 HimG846: “HailG5463, KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453!”

19

They kept strikingG5180 HisG846 headG2776 with a staffG2563 andG2532 spitting onG1716 HimG846. AndG2532 they knelt downG5087G3588G1119 and bowedG4352 before HimG846. 20AfterG2532G3753 they had mockedG1702 HimG846, they removedG1562 theG3588 purpleG4209 robe andG2532 putG1746 HisG846 ownG2398 clothesG2440 back on HimG846. ThenG2532 they led Him outG1806G846 toG2443 crucifyG4717 HimG846.

21Now SimonG4613 of CyreneG2956, theG3588 fatherG3962 of AlexanderG223 andG2532 RufusG4504, was passing byG3855 on his way inG2064 fromG575 the countryG68, andG2532 the soldiers forcedG29 him toG2443 carryG142 theG3588 crossG4716 ofG846 Jesus.

22

They broughtG5342 Jesus toG1909 a placeG5117 called GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 meansG1510G3177 The PlaceG5117 of the SkullG2898. 23ThereG2532 they offeredG1325 HimG846 wineG3631 mixed with myrrhG4669, butG1161 HeG3739 did not takeG3756G2983 it.

24AndG2532 they crucifiedG4717 HimG846.

They also dividedG2532G1266 HisG846 garmentsG2440 by castingG906 lotsG2819 to decideG1909 whatG5101 each of them would takeG142.1

25

It wasG1510 the thirdG5154 hourG56102 whenG2532 they crucifiedG4717 HimG846. 26AndG2532 theG3588 chargeG156 inscribedG1923 against HimG846 readG1510G1924:

THEG3588 KINGG935 OF THEG3588 JEWSG2453.

27Along withG4862 Jesus, they crucifiedG4717 twoG1417 robbersG3027,3 oneG1520 onG1537 His rightG1188 andG2532 oneG1520 onG1537 HisG846 leftG2176.4

29AndG2532 those whoG3588 passed byG3899 heaped abuse onG987 HimG846, shakingG2795 theirG846 headsG2776 andG2532 sayingG3004, “AhaG3758! You who are going to destroyG2647 theG3588 templeG3485 andG2532 rebuildG3618 it inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250, 30come downG2597 fromG575 theG3588 crossG4716 and saveG4982 YourselfG4572!”

31In the same wayG3668G2532, theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG3326 scribesG1122 mockedG1702 Him amongG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG2036, “He savedG4982 othersG243, but He cannotG3756G1410 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 32Let theG3588 ChristG5547, theG3588 KingG935 of IsraelG2474, come downG2597 nowG3568 fromG575 theG3588 crossG4716, so thatG2443 we may seeG3708 andG2532 believeG4100!” And evenG2532 those whoG3588 were crucifiedG4957 withG4862 HimG846 beratedG3679 HimG846.

33

From the sixthG1623 hourG5610 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG56105 darknessG4655 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3650 theG3588 landG1093. 34At theG3588 ninthG1766 hourG5610, JesusG2424 cried outG994 in a loud voiceG3173G5456, “EloiG1682, EloiG1682, lemaG2982 sabachthaniG4518?” whichG3739 meansG1510G3177, “MyG1473 GodG2316, MyG1473 GodG2316, whyG1519G5101 have You forsakenG1459 MeG1473?”6

35WhenG2532 someG5100 of thoseG3588 standing nearbyG3936 heardG191 this, they saidG2036, “BeholdG2400, He is callingG5455 ElijahG2243.”

36AndG1161 someoneG5100 ranG5143 andG2532 filledG1072 a spongeG4699 with sour wineG3690.7 He put it onG4060 a reedG2563 and held it up for Jesus to drinkG4222G846,8 sayingG3004, “Leave Him aloneG863. Let us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to take Him downG2507G846.”

37ButG1161 JesusG2424 let outG863 a loud cryG3173G5456 and breathed His lastG1606. 38AndG2532 theG3588 veilG2665 of theG3588 templeG3485 was tornG4977 inG1519 twoG1417 fromG575 topG509 toG2193 bottomG2736.

39WhenG1161 theG3588 centurionG2760 standing thereG3936 in front ofG1537G1727 Jesus sawG3708 how He had breathed His lastG1606,9 he saidG2036, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 manG444 wasG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

40AndG1161 there wereG1510 alsoG2532 womenG1135 watchingG2334 fromG575 a distanceG3113. AmongG1722 themG3739 were MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 theG3588 motherG3384 of JamesG2385 theG3588 youngerG3398 andG2532 of JosesG2500,10 andG2532 SalomeG4539. 41These women had followedG190 Jesus andG2532 ministeredG1247 to HimG846 whileG3753 He wasG1510 inG1722 GalileeG1056, andG2532 there were manyG4183 otherG243 women whoG3588 had come upG4872 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 with HimG846.
