Mark 15:21-37

211And they compelledG29 a passer-byG3855 comingG2064 from the countryG68, SimonG4613 ofG2956 CyreneG2956 (the fatherG3962 of AlexanderG223 and 2RufusG4504), to carryG142 His crossG4716.

223ThenG2532 they broughtG5342 Him to the placeG5117 4GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 is translatedG3177, PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898. 23And they tried to giveG1325 Him 5wineG3631 mixedG4669 withG4669 myrrhG4669; but He did not takeG2983 it. 24And they crucifiedG4717 Him, and 6dividedG1266 upG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves, castingG906 7lotsG2819 for them to decide 8whatG5101 eachG5101 manG5101 would takeG142. 25NowG1161 it was the 910thirdG5154 hourG5610 11whenG2532 they crucifiedG4717 Him. 26The inscriptionG1923 of the chargeG156 against Him 12readG1924, “13THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

27And they crucifiedG4717 twoG1417 14rebelsG3027 with Him, oneG1520 on His rightG1188 and oneG1520 on His leftG2176.15 29ThoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 16hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, 17shakingG2795 their headsG2776 and sayingG3004, “HaG3758! You who are going to 18destroyG2647 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, “19He savedG4982 othersG243; 20He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 32Let this ChristG5547, 21the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, comeG2597 downG2597 nowG3568 from the crossG4716, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708 and believeG4100!” 22ThoseG3588 who were crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him.

3323When the 2425sixthG1623 hourG5610 cameG1096, darknessG4655 26fellG1096 overG1909 the wholeG3650 landG1093 untilG2193 the 2728ninthG1729 hourG5610. 34At the 2930ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG994 outG994 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “31EloiG1682, 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, “32LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to takeG2507 Him downG2507.” 3733But JesusG2424 letG863 outG863 a loudG3173 cryG5456, and 34diedG1606.
