Mark 15:22-47

221Then they brought Him to the place 2Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23And they tried to give Him 3wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24And they crucified Him, and 4divided up His garments among themselves, casting 5lots for them to decide 6what each man would take. 25Now it was the 78third hour 9when they crucified Him. 26The inscription of the charge against Him 10read, “11THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

27And they crucified two 12rebels with Him, one on His right and one on His left.13 29Those passing by were 14hurling abuse at Him, 15shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to 16destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “17He saved others; 18He cannot save Himself! 32Let this Christ, 19the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” 20Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

3321When the 2223sixth hour came, darkness 24fell over the whole land until the 2526ninth hour. 34At the 2728ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “29Eloi, Eloi, lema sabaktanei?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35And when some of the bystanders heard Him, they began saying, “Look! He is calling for Elijah!” 36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “30Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” 3731But Jesus let out a loud cry, and 32died. 3833And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 3934And when the centurion, who was standing 35right in front of Him, saw that He 36died in this way, he said, “Truly this Man was 37the Son of God!”

4038Now there were also some women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of 39James 40the 41Less and Joses, and 42Salome. 41When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and 43serve Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

4244When evening had already come, since it was 45the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43Joseph of Arimathea came, a 46prominent member of the Council, who was himself also 47waiting for the kingdom of God; and he 48gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44Now Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. 45And after learning this from 49the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 4750Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where He was laid.
