Mark 15:25-47
Skip Heitzig
Mark 15 (NKJV™) | |
25 | Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. |
26 | And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
27 | With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. |
28 | So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors." |
29 | And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, |
30 | "save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" |
31 | Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. |
32 | "Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him. |
33 | Now 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 is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" |
35 | Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!" |
36 | Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down." |
37 | And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. |
38 | Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. |
39 | So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!" |
40 | There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, |
41 | who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem. |
42 | Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, |
43 | Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. |
44 | Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. |
45 | So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. |
46 | Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. |
47 | And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid. |
