Mark 15:21-37

« Mark 14Mark 15Mark 16 »

21 ^aAnd they *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and ^bRufus), to ¹carry His cross.

The Crucifixion

22 ^aThen they *brought Him to the place ^bGolgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him ^awine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *^adivided up His garments among themselves, casting ¹lots for them to decide who should take what. 25 Now it was the ¹^athird hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against Him ¹read, “^aTHE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28 ¹[And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] 29 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ^ashaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to ^bdestroy the ¹sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way, mocking Him to one another, the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were saying, “^aHe saved others; ¹He cannot save Himself. 32 Let this ¹Christ, ^athe King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” ^bThose who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
33 ^aAnd when the ¹^bsixth hour came, darkness ²fell over the whole land until the ³^bninth hour. 34 And at the ^aninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “^bEloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35 And when some of the bystanders heard it, 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, “¹Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” 37 ^aAnd Jesus, uttering a loud cry, breathed His last.
