Mark 15:22-38

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 ▼
▼ That is, 9 a.m.
 when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read f “The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two g robbers h one on his right and one on his left. ▼
▼ Some manuscripts insert verse 28: And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “He was numbered with the transgressors”
 29 And j those who passed by derided him k wagging their heads and saying l “Aha! m 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, n “He saved others; o he cannot save himself. 32 Let p the Christ, q the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may r see and believe.” s Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

33 And when the sixth hour ▼
▼ That is, noon
 had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. ▼
▼ That is, 3 p.m.
 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus v cried with a loud voice, w “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 x sour wine, put it on a reed y and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus z uttered a loud cry and aa breathed his last. 38 And ab the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
