Mark 15:20-41

20And afterG3753 they had mockedG1702 Him, they tookG1562 the 1purpleG4209 cloak offG1562 Him and putG1746 His own garmentsG2440 on Him. And they ledG1806 Him outG1806 to crucifyG4717 Him.

212And they compelledG29 a passer-byG3855 comingG2064 from the countryG68, SimonG4613 ofG2956 CyreneG2956 (the fatherG3962 of AlexanderG223 and 3RufusG4504), to carryG142 His crossG4716.

224ThenG2532 they broughtG5342 Him to the placeG5117 5GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 is translatedG3177, PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898. 23And they tried to giveG1325 Him 6wineG3631 mixedG4669 withG4669 myrrhG4669; but He did not takeG2983 it. 24And they crucifiedG4717 Him, and 7dividedG1266 upG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves, castingG906 8lotsG2819 for them to decide 9whatG5101 eachG5101 manG5101 would takeG142. 25NowG1161 it was the 1011thirdG5154 hourG5610 12whenG2532 they crucifiedG4717 Him. 26The inscriptionG1923 of the chargeG156 against Him 13readG1924, “14THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

27And they crucifiedG4717 twoG1417 15rebelsG3027 with Him, oneG1520 on His rightG1188 and oneG1520 on His leftG2176.16 29ThoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 17hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, 18shakingG2795 their headsG2776 and sayingG3004, “HaG3758! You who are going to 19destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, 30saveG4982 YourselfG4572 by comingG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716!” 31In the sameG3668 wayG3668 the chiefG749 priestsG749 alsoG2532, along with the scribesG1122, were mockingG1702 Him amongG4314 themselvesG240 and sayingG3004, “20He savedG4982 othersG243; 21He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 32Let this ChristG5547, 22the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, comeG2597 downG2597 nowG3568 from the crossG4716, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708 and believeG4100!” 23ThoseG3588 who were crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him.

3324When the 2526sixthG1623 hourG5610 cameG1096, darknessG4655 27fellG1096 overG1909 the wholeG3650 landG1093 untilG2193 the 2829ninthG1729 hourG5610. 34At the 3031ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG994 outG994 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “32EloiG1682, EloiG1682, lemaG2982 sabaktaneiG4518?” whichG3739 is translatedG3177, “My GodG2316, My GodG2316, whyG1519G5101 have You forsakenG1459 Me?” 35And when someG5100 of the bystandersG3936 heardG191 Him, they began sayingG3004, “LookG2396! He is callingG5455 for ElijahG2243!” 36And someoneG5100 ranG5143 and filledG1072 a spongeG4699 with sourG3690 wineG3690, putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 Him aG4222 drinkG4222, sayingG3004, “33LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to takeG2507 Him downG2507.” 3734But JesusG2424 letG863 outG863 a loudG3173 cryG5456, and 35diedG1606. 3836And the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 in twoG1417 from topG509 to bottomG2736. 3937And when the centurionG2760, who was standingG3936 38rightG1727 inG1727 frontG1727 of Him, sawG3708 that He 39diedG1606 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, he saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 ManG444 was 40the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

4041NowG1161 there were alsoG2532 some womenG1135 watchingG2334 from a distanceG3113, amongG1722 whomG3739 were MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of 42JamesG2385 43the 44LessG3398 and JosesG2500, and 45SalomeG4539. 41WhenG3753 He was in GalileeG1056, they used to followG190 Him and 46serveG1247 Him; and there were manyG4183 otherG243 womenG243 who cameG4872 up with Him to JerusalemG2414.
