Mark 15:22-47

221ThenG2532 they broughtG5342 Him to the placeG5117 2GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 is translatedG3177, PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898. 23And they tried to giveG1325 Him 3wineG3631 mixedG4669 withG4669 myrrhG4669; but He did not takeG2983 it. 24And they crucifiedG4717 Him, and 4dividedG1266 upG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves, castingG906 5lotsG2819 for them to decide 6whatG5101 eachG5101 manG5101 would takeG142. 25NowG1161 it was the 78thirdG5154 hourG5610 9whenG2532 they crucifiedG4717 Him. 26The inscriptionG1923 of the chargeG156 against Him 10readG1924, “11THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

27And they crucifiedG4717 twoG1417 12rebelsG3027 with Him, oneG1520 on His rightG1188 and oneG1520 on His leftG2176.13 29ThoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 14hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, 15shakingG2795 their headsG2776 and sayingG3004, “HaG3758! You who are going to 16destroyG2647 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, “17He savedG4982 othersG243; 18He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 32Let this ChristG5547, 19the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, comeG2597 downG2597 nowG3568 from the crossG4716, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708 and believeG4100!” 20ThoseG3588 who were crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him.

3321When the 2223sixthG1623 hourG5610 cameG1096, darknessG4655 24fellG1096 overG1909 the wholeG3650 landG1093 untilG2193 the 2526ninthG1729 hourG5610. 34At the 2728ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG994 outG994 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “29EloiG1682, 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, “30LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to takeG2507 Him downG2507.” 3731But JesusG2424 letG863 outG863 a loudG3173 cryG5456, and 32diedG1606. 3833And the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 in twoG1417 from topG509 to bottomG2736. 3934And when the centurionG2760, who was standingG3936 35rightG1727 inG1727 frontG1727 of Him, sawG3708 that He 36diedG1606 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, he saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 ManG444 was 37the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

4038NowG1161 there were alsoG2532 some womenG1135 watchingG2334 from a distanceG3113, amongG1722 whomG3739 were MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of 39JamesG2385 40the 41LessG3398 and JosesG2500, and 42SalomeG4539. 41WhenG3753 He was in GalileeG1056, they used to followG190 Him and 43serveG1247 Him; and there were manyG4183 otherG243 womenG243 who cameG4872 up with Him to JerusalemG2414.

4244When eveningG3798 had alreadyG2235 comeG1096, sinceG1893 it was 45the preparationG3904 dayG3904, that is, the dayG4315 beforeG4315 theG4315 SabbathG4315, 43JosephG2501 of ArimatheaG707 cameG2064, a 46prominentG2158 memberG1010 ofG1010 theG1010 CouncilG1010, whoG3739 was himselfG846 alsoG2532 47waitingG4327 for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; and he 48gatheredG5111 upG5111 courageG5111 and wentG1525 inG1525 beforeG4314 PilateG4091, and askedG154 for the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. 44NowG1161 PilateG4091 wonderedG2296 ifG1487 He was deadG2348 byG2235 thisG2235 timeG2235, and summoningG4341 the centurionG2760, he questionedG1905 him as to whetherG1487 He was alreadyG2235 deadG599. 45And after learningG1097 this from 49the centurionG2760, he grantedG1433 the bodyG4430 to JosephG2501. 46Joseph boughtG59 a linenG4616 clothG4616, tookG2507 Him downG2507, wrappedG1750 Him in the linenG4616 clothG4616, and laidG2698 Him in a tombG3418 whichG3739 had beenG1510 cutG2998 outG2998 in the rockG4073; and he rolledG4351 a stoneG3037 againstG1909 the entranceG2374 of the tombG3419. 4750MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 and MaryG3137 the mother of JosesG2500 were watchingG2334 to see whereG4226 He was laidG5087.
