Mark 15:22-37

English Standard Version

^22 (A)And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). ²³ And they offered him wine mixed with ^(B)myrrh, but he did not take it. ²⁴ And they crucified him and ^(C)divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. ²⁵ And ^(D)it was the third hour^[a] when they crucified him. ²⁶ And the inscription of the charge against him read, ^(E)“The King of the Jews.” ²⁷ And with him they crucified two ^(F)robbers, ^(G)one on his right and one on his left.^{[b] 29} And ^(H)those who passed by derided him, ^(I)wagging their heads and saying, ^(J)“Aha! ^(K)You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, ³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross!” ³¹ So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, ^(L)“He saved others; ^(M)he cannot save himself. ³² Let ^(N)the Christ, ^(O)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may ^(P)see and believe.” ^(Q)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

³³ And when the sixth hour^[c] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.^{[d] 34} And at the ninth hour Jesus ^(R)cried with a loud voice, ^(S)“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ³⁵ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” ³⁶ And someone ran and filled a sponge with ^(T)sour wine, put it on a reed ^(U)and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” ³⁷ And Jesus ^(V)uttered a loud cry and ^(W)breathed his last.
