Marcos 15
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Jesús ante Pilato(A)
15 En cuanto amaneció, y luego de reunirse los principales sacerdotes, los ancianos, los escribas y todo el tribunal para ponerse de acuerdo, ataron a Jesús y se lo llevaron a Pilato. 2 Éste le preguntó: «¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos?» Y Jesús le respondió: «Tú lo dices.» 3 Los principales sacerdotes lo acusaban de muchas cosas, 4 así que Pilato volvió a preguntarle: «¿No vas a responder? ¡Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan!» 5 Pero Jesús ni aun así respondió, lo que sorprendió mucho a Pilato.
Jesús sentenciado a muerte(B)
6 En el día de la fiesta Pilato acostumbraba poner en libertad a un preso, el que la gente quisiera. 7 Había uno que se llamaba Barrabás, que estaba preso con sus compañeros de motín porque en una revuelta habían cometido un homicidio. 8 Cuando la multitud se aproximó, comenzó a pedirle a Pilato que hiciera lo que acostumbraba hacer. 9 Pilato les preguntó: «¿Quieren que ponga en libertad al Rey de los judíos?» 10 Y es que Pilato sabía que los principales sacerdotes lo habían entregado por envidia. 11 Pero los principales sacerdotes incitaron a la multitud para que Pilato soltara más bien a Barrabás. 12 Pilato les preguntó: «¿Y qué quieren que haga con el que ustedes llaman Rey de los judíos?» 13 Y ellos volvieron a gritar: «¡Crucifícalo!» 14 Pilato les decía: «¿Pues qué crimen ha cometido?» Pero ellos gritaban más todavía: «¡Crucifícalo!» 15 Pilato optó por complacer al pueblo y puso en libertad a Barrabás; luego mandó que azotaran a Jesús, y lo entregó para que lo crucificaran.
16 Los soldados lo llevaron al interior del atrio, es decir, al pretorio, y llamaron a toda la compañía. 17 Lo vistieron de púrpura, le colocaron una corona tejida de espinas, 18 y comenzaron a saludarlo: «¡Salve, Rey de los judíos!» 19 Lo golpeaban en la cabeza con una caña, y lo escupían, y doblaban las rodillas para hacerle reverencias. 20 Después de burlarse de él, le quitaron la ropa de púrpura, lo vistieron con sus propios vestidos, y lo sacaron de allí para crucificarlo.
Crucifixión y muerte de Jesús(C)
21 A uno que volvía del campo y que pasaba por allí lo obligaron a llevar la cruz. Ese hombre se llamaba Simón de Cirene, y era padre de Alejandro y de Rufo.(D) 22 Llevaron a Jesús a un lugar llamado Gólgota, que significa «Lugar de la Calavera». 23 Le dieron a beber vino mezclado con mirra, pero él no lo tomó. 24 Después de crucificarlo, se repartieron sus vestidos y los sortearon(E) para ver qué le tocaría a cada uno de ellos. 25 Cuando lo crucificaron eran las nueve de la mañana. 26 Como razón de su condena pusieron este epígrafe: «EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS». 27 Con él crucificaron también a dos ladrones, uno a su derecha y el otro a su izquierda. 28 [Así se cumplió la Escritura que dice: «Y será contado con los pecadores.»](F)[a] 29 Los que pasaban lo insultaban, y mientras meneaban la cabeza(G) decían: «Oye, tú, que derribas el templo de Dios y en tres días lo reedificas,(H) 30 ¡sálvate a ti mismo y desciende de la cruz!» 31 Así también se burlaban de él los principales sacerdotes, y se sumaban a los escribas para decir: «¡Salvó a otros, pero a sí mismo no puede salvarse! 32 ¡Que baje ahora de la cruz el Cristo, el Rey de Israel, para que podamos ver y creer!» Y también le hacían burla los que estaban crucificados con él.
33 Desde el mediodía y hasta las tres de la tarde hubo tinieblas sobre toda la tierra, 34 y a las tres de la tarde Jesús clamó a gran voz: «Eloi, Eloi, ¿lama sabactani?», que significa «Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has desamparado?»(I) 35 Al oírlo, algunos de los que estaban allí decían: «Escuchen, está llamando a Elías.» 36 Uno de ellos corrió a empapar en vinagre una esponja, la puso en una caña, y le dio a beber,(J) al tiempo que decía: «Déjenlo, veamos si Elías viene a bajarlo.» 37 Pero Jesús lanzó un fuerte grito y murió. 38 En ese momento el velo(K) del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo, 39 y el centurión que estaba frente a él, al verlo morir así, dijo: «En verdad, este hombre era Hijo de Dios.»
40 Algunas mujeres estaban allí, mirando de lejos. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, María, la que era madre de Jacobo el menor y de José, y Salomé. 41 Ellas habían seguido y atendido a Jesús cuando él estaba en Galilea.(L) Pero había también otras muchas mujeres, que habían ido con él a Jerusalén.
Jesús es sepultado(M)
42 Al caer la tarde del día de la preparación, es decir, la víspera del día de reposo, 43 José de Arimatea fue y con mucha osadía se presentó ante Pilato para pedirle el cuerpo de Jesús. Este José era un miembro importante del tribunal, y también esperaba el reino de Dios. 44 Pilato se sorprendió al saber que Jesús ya había muerto, así que mandó llamar al centurión y le preguntó si, en efecto, Jesús ya había muerto. 45 Luego de que el centurión le confirmó la noticia, Pilato entregó a José el cuerpo de Jesús. 46 José fue y bajó de la cruz el cuerpo de Jesús, lo envolvió en una sábana que había comprado, y lo puso en un sepulcro que estaba cavado en una peña. Luego, hizo rodar una piedra para sellar la entrada del sepulcro. 47 Mientras tanto, María Magdalena y María la madre de José miraban dónde ponían el cuerpo.

Traducción en lenguaje actual
Jesús y Pilato
15 Al amanecer, los sacerdotes principales, los líderes del país y los maestros de la Ley se reunieron con los miembros de la Junta Suprema. Terminada la reunión, ataron a Jesús, lo sacaron del palacio de Caifás y lo entregaron a Poncio Pilato, el gobernador romano.
2 Pilato le preguntó a Jesús:
—¿Eres en verdad el rey de los judíos?
Jesús respondió:
—Tú lo dices.
3 Los sacerdotes principales presentaban muchas acusaciones contra Jesús. 4 Por eso, Pilato volvió a preguntarle:
—Mira, te acusan de muchas cosas. ¿No vas a defenderte?
5 Y como Jesús no le respondía, el gobernador se quedó asombrado.
¡Que lo claven en una cruz!
6 Durante la fiesta de la Pascua, Pilato tenía la costumbre de poner en libertad a alguno de los presos, el que el pueblo quisiera. 7 En ese tiempo estaba encarcelado un bandido muy famoso, que se llamaba Barrabás. Junto con otros había matado a alguien durante un gran pleito que se armó en contra del gobierno de Roma.
8 La gente fue a ver a Pilato y empezó a pedirle que dejara libre a un prisionero, como era su costumbre. 9-10 Y como Pilato sabía que los sacerdotes principales habían entregado a Jesús sólo por envidia, le preguntó a la gente:
—¿Quieren que deje libre al rey de los judíos?
11 Pero los sacerdotes principales alborotaron a la gente para que pidiera la liberación de Barrabás.
12 Pilato volvió a preguntar:
—¿Y qué quieren que haga con el hombre que ustedes llaman “el rey de los judíos”?
13 —¡Clávalo en una cruz! —contestaron a coro.
14 Pilato les preguntó:
—Díganme, ¿qué mal ha hecho este hombre?
Pero la multitud gritó con más fuerza:
—¡Clávalo en una cruz!
15 Pilato quería quedar bien con la gente, así que dejó en libertad a Barrabás. Luego ordenó que azotaran a Jesús con un látigo y que lo clavaran en una cruz.
Todos se burlan de Jesús
16 Los soldados romanos llevaron a Jesús al patio del cuartel y llamaron al resto de la tropa. 17 Luego le pusieron a Jesús un manto de color rojo oscuro,[a] y le colocaron en la cabeza una corona hecha con ramas de espinos. 18 Entonces comenzaron a burlarse de él, y gritaban: «¡Viva el rey de los judíos!»
19 Lo golpeaban en la cabeza con una vara y lo escupían, y arrodillándose delante de él le hacían reverencias. 20 Cuando se cansaron de burlarse de él, le quitaron el manto rojo y le pusieron su propia ropa. Después se lo llevaron para clavarlo en la cruz.
21 Los soldados salieron con Jesús, y en el camino encontraron a un hombre llamado Simón, que era del pueblo de Cirene. Simón era padre de Alejandro y de Rufo; regresaba del campo y los soldados lo obligaron a cargar la cruz de Jesús.
22 Así llevaron a Jesús a un lugar llamado Gólgota, que quiere decir «La Calavera». 23 Allí le ofrecieron vino mezclado con mirra, para calmar sus dolores; pero Jesús no quiso beberlo.
24-28 Eran las nueve de la mañana cuando los soldados romanos clavaron a Jesús en la cruz. Luego hicieron un sorteo para ver quién de ellos se quedaría con su ropa. Además, colocaron un letrero para explicar por qué lo habían clavado en la cruz. El letrero decía: «El Rey de los judíos».
Junto a Jesús clavaron a dos bandidos, uno a su derecha y el otro a su izquierda. 29 La gente que pasaba por allí insultaba a Jesús y se burlaba de él, haciéndole muecas y diciéndole: «¡Hey! Tú dijiste que podías destruir el templo y construirlo de nuevo en tres días. 30 ¡Si tienes tanto poder, sálvate a ti mismo! ¡Baja de la cruz!»
31 También los sacerdotes principales y los maestros de la Ley se burlaban de él, y se decían entre sí: «Salvó a otros, pero no puede salvarse a sí mismo. 32 Dice que es el Mesías, el rey de Israel. ¡Pues que baje de la cruz y creeremos en él!»
Y también insultaban a Jesús los bandidos que habían sido clavados a su lado.
Jesús muere
33 Desde el mediodía hasta las tres de la tarde, el cielo se puso oscuro. 34 A esa hora, Jesús gritó con mucha fuerza: «Eloí, Eloí, ¿lemá sabactani?» Eso quiere decir: «¡Dios mío, Dios mío! ¿Por qué me has abandonado?»
35 Algunos de los que estaban allí lo oyeron, y dijeron: «Oigan, está llamando al profeta Elías.»
36 Uno de ellos consiguió una esponja, la empapó con vinagre, la ató al extremo de un palo largo, y se la acercó a Jesús para que bebiera. Entonces dijo: «Vamos a ver si Elías viene a bajarlo de la cruz.»
37 Jesús lanzó un fuerte grito y murió. 38 En aquel momento, la cortina del templo se partió en dos pedazos de arriba abajo.
39 El oficial romano que estaba frente a Jesús lo vio morir, y dijo:
—En verdad este hombre era el Hijo de Dios.
40 Había allí muchas mujeres que miraban desde lejos. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, Salomé y María, la madre de José y de Santiago el menor. 41 Ellas habían seguido y ayudado a Jesús en Galilea. Además, estaban allí muchas otras mujeres que habían acompañado a Jesús en su viaje a Jerusalén.
El entierro de Jesús
42 Ya era viernes por la tarde,[b] y los judíos se estaban preparando para las celebraciones especiales del día sábado. 43 Un hombre llamado José, del pueblo de Arimatea, no tuvo miedo de pedirle a Pilato el cuerpo de Jesús. José era un miembro muy importante de la Junta Suprema. Además, él oraba para que el reinado de Dios empezara pronto.
44 Pilato se sorprendió mucho al oír que Jesús ya había muerto. Por eso, llamó al oficial romano para ver si era cierto, y para averiguar cuándo había sucedido. 45 Cuando el oficial regresó con el informe, Pilato dio permiso para que le entregaran a José el cuerpo de Jesús.
46 José compró entonces una sábana de tela muy fina y cara. Bajó a Jesús de la cruz, lo envolvió en la sábana y lo puso en una tumba. Hacía poco tiempo que José la había mandado construir en una gran roca. Luego tapó la entrada de la tumba con una piedra muy grande. 47 Mientras tanto, María Magdalena y María la madre de José, miraban dónde ponían el cuerpo de Jesús.

Mark 15
New International Version
Jesus Before Pilate(A)
15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.
6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.
12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)
21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(Z)
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)
40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)
The Burial of Jesus(AK)
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

King James Version
15 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Mark 15
New King James Version
Jesus Faces Pilate(A)
15 Immediately, (B)in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and (C)delivered Him to Pilate. 2 (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”
3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. 4 (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” 5 (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)
6 Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. 8 Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
11 But (J)the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the (K)King of the Jews?”
13 So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, (L)what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”
15 (M)So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be (N)crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(O)
16 (P)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called [c]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they (Q)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had (R)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
The King on a Cross(S)
21 (T)Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. 22 (U)And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 (V)Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, (W)they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.
25 Now (X)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And (Y)the inscription of His [d]accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 (Z)With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [e]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (AA)“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”
29 And (AB)those who passed by blasphemed Him, (AC)wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! (AD)You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 Likewise the chief priests also, (AE)mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved (AF)others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [f]believe.”
Even (AG)those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.
Jesus Dies on the Cross(AH)
33 Now (AI)when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, (AJ)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36 Then (AK)someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and (AL)offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
37 (AM)And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38 Then (AN)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 So (AO)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that [g]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
40 (AP)There were also women looking on (AQ)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also (AR)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AS)
42 (AT)Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who (AU)was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 (AV)Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
