Jesus is Crucified, 3 of 4
Mark 15:33-39
33 At noon, darkness covered the whole land. It lasted three hours.
34 At three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" This means "My God, my God, why have you deserted me?"
35 Some of those standing nearby heard Jesus cry out. They said, "Listen! He’s calling for Elijah."
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with wine vinegar. He put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink. "Leave him alone," he said. "Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down."
37 With a loud cry, Jesus took his last breath.
38 The temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 A Roman commander was standing there in front of Jesus. He heard his cry and saw how Jesus died. Then he said, "This man was surely the Son of God!"
