Mark

Mark 15:34–41

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.

³⁹When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last,^k he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

⁴⁰And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses,^l and Salome. ⁴¹These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.
