Mark 15:33-41 The Death of Jesus 33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, \u201cEloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?\u201d (which means \u201cMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u201d). 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, \u201cListen, he\u2019s calling Elijah.\u201d 36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. \u201cNow leave him alone. Let\u2019s see if Elijah comes to take him down,\u201d he said. 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, \u201cSurely this man was the Son of God!\u201d 40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. 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.
