Mark 15:26-47
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 The inscription of the charge written against Him was:
27 They(C) crucified two criminals[a](D) with Him, one on His right and one on His left. [28 So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws.][b](E)[c] 29 Those(F) who passed by were yelling insults(G) at[d] Him, shaking their heads,(H) and saying, “Ha! The One who would demolish the sanctuary and build it in three days,(I) 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!”(J) 31 In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes(K) were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself! 32 Let the Messiah,(L) the King(M) of Israel,(N) come down now from the cross,(O) so that we may see and believe.”(P) Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.
The Death of Jesus
33 When(Q) it was noon,[e] darkness came over the whole land[f] until three in the afternoon.[g](R) 34 And at three[h] Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá[i] sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”(S)[j]
35 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah!” 36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink,(T) and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down!”
37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last. 38 Then the curtain(U) of the sanctuary[k] was split in two from top to bottom. 39 When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He[l] breathed His last, he said, “This man really was God’s Son!”[m](V)
40 There(W) were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene,(X) Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When He was in Galilee,(Y) they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.(Z)
The Burial of Jesus
42 When(AA) it was already evening, because it was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath), 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward(AB) to the kingdom of God,(AC) came and boldly went in to Pilate(AD) and asked for Jesus’ body.(AE) 44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died. 45 When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph. 46 After he bought some fine linen, he took Him down and wrapped Him in the linen. Then he placed Him in a tomb(AF) cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone(AG) against the entrance to the tomb. 47 Now(AH) Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where He was placed.

26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(A)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(B) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(C) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(D) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(E) this king of Israel,(F) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(G)
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(H) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](I)
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(J) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(K)
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(L) 39 And when the centurion,(M) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(N)
40 Some women were watching from a distance.(O) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(P) 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.(Q)
The Burial of Jesus(R)
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(S) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(T) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(U) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(V) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(W) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(X) saw where he was laid.
