Mark 15:33-47

New American Standard Bible

^33 (A)When the ^[a](B)sixth hour came, darkness ^[b]fell over the whole land until the ^[c](C)ninth hour. ³⁴ At the ^[d](D)ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “^(E)Eloi, Eloi, lema sabaktanei?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” ³⁵ And when some of the bystanders heard Him, they began saying, “Look! He is calling for Elijah!” ³⁶ And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “^[e]Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” ^37 (F)But Jesus let out a loud cry, and ^[f]died. ^38 (G)And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. ^39 (H)And when the centurion, who was standing ^[g]right in front of Him, saw that He ^[h]died in this way, he said, “Truly this man was ^[i]the Son of God!”

^40 (I)Now there were also some women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of ^[j]James ^(J)the ^[k]Less and Joses, and ^(K)Salome. ⁴¹ When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and ^(L)serve Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

^42 (M)When evening had already come, since it was ^(N)the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea came, a ^(O)prominent member of the Council, who was himself also ^(P)waiting for the kingdom of God; and he ^(Q)gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ Now Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. ⁴⁵ And after learning this from ^(R)the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. ^47 (S)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where He was laid.
