Mark 15:23–38

²³There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

²⁴And they crucified Him.

They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.^c

²⁵It was the third hour^d when they crucified Him. ²⁶And the charge inscribed against Him read:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers,^e one on His right and one on His left.^f

²⁹And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, ³⁰come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

³¹In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! ³²Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.

³³From the sixth hour until the ninth hour^g darkness came over all the land. ³⁴At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”^h

³⁵When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

³⁶And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine.ⁱ He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink,^j saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

³⁷But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last. ³⁸And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
