Mark 15:33-41

33Now when it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

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

35When some of the bystanders heard it they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah!”

36Then someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to take him down!”

37But Jesus cried out with a loud voice and breathed his last.

38And the temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom.

39Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

40There were also women, watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

41When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were there too.
