Mark 15:28-44
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
28 29Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, shaking their heads and saying, 'Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30save Yourself by coming down from the cross!' 31In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, 'He saved others; He cannot save Himself! 32Let this Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!' Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
33When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, 'ELOI, ELOI, LEMA SABAKTANEI?' which is translated, 'MY God, MY God, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
35And when some of the bystanders heard Him, they began saying, 'Look! He is calling for Elijah!'
36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, 'Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.'
37But Jesus let out a loud cry, and died.
38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39And when the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw that He died in this way, he said, 'Truly this man was the Son of God!'
40Now there were also some women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.
41When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and serve Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
42When evening had already come, since it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself also waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
44Now Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.
King James Version
Chapter 15
28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 29And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counseller, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

29Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
30save yourself by coming down from the cross! "
31In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking him among themselves and saying, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself!
32Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.
33When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
34And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni? " which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? "
37Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last.
38Then the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39When the centurion, who was standing opposite him, saw the way he breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God! "
40There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
41In Galilee these women followed him and took care of him. Many other women had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42When it was already evening, because it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went to Pilate and asked for Jesus's body.
44Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had already died.

Chapter 15
28
29The people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery. 'Ha! Look at you now!' they yelled at him. 'You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days.
30Well then, save yourself and come down from the cross!'
31The leading priests and teachers of religious law also mocked Jesus. 'He saved others,' they scoffed, 'but he can’t save himself!
32Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down from the cross so we can see it and believe him!' Even the men who were crucified with Jesus ridiculed him.
33At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock.
34Then at three o’clock Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?'
35Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah.
36One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. 'Wait!' he said. 'Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down!'
37Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last.
38And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
40Some women were there, watching from a distance, including Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James the younger and of Joseph ), and Salome.
41They had been followers of Jesus and had cared for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come with him to Jerusalem were also there.
42This all happened on Friday, the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath. As evening approached,
43Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.)
44Pilate couldn’t believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet.

28 29Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, 'So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30come down from the cross and save yourself!' 31In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. 'He saved others,' they said, 'but he can't save himself! 32Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.'

New King James Version
Chapter 15
28So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”
29And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
33Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34And 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?”
35Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!”
36Then 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.”
38Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39So 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!”
40There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,
41who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
42Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43Joseph 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.
44Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.
