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.
About Mark 15: Jesus Before Pilate and Crucifixion
Jesus is crucified and buried, and on the third day He rises from the dead.
Commentary
Mark 15 is the account of Jesus' crucifixion. It begins with the Roman governor, Pilate, reluctantly handing Jesus over to be crucified. Pilate had tried to release Jesus, but the Jewish leaders insisted on his death. The soldiers then mocked and tortured Jesus before leading him away to be crucified.
