Mark 15:33-41
Modern English Version
The Death of Jesus(A)
33 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 means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”[a]
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Listen, He is calling Elijah!”
36 One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
37 But Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the spirit.
38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 When the centurion[b] who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit, he said, “Truly, this Man was the Son of God.”
40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome. 41 They also had followed Him and had ministered to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem were there.

Jesus Dies on the Cross
33 And when[a] the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why[b] have you forsaken me?”)[c] 35 And some of the bystanders, when they[d] heard it,[e] said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it[f] on a reed, and[g] gave it[h] to him to drink, saying, “Leave him[i] alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.” 37 But Jesus uttered a loud cry and[j] expired. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when[k] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!” 40 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger[l] and Joses,[m] and Salome, 41 who used to follow[n] him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.
