Mark 15:33-41

33At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

34At three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

35When some of the people standing there heard him say that, they said, “Listen! He’s calling Elijah.”

36Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink. The man said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down.”

37Then Jesus cried out in a loud voice and died.

38The curtain in the temple was split in two from top to bottom.

39When the officer who stood facing Jesus saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, “Certainly, this man was the Son of God!”

40Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of young James and Joseph), and Salome.

41They had followed him and supported him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come to Jerusalem with him were there too.
