Mark 15:24-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. And while crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots over them, to see who would take what.

25. Now it was the third hour. And they crucified him.

26. And the title of his case was written as: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27. And with him they crucified two robbers: one at his right, and the other at his left.

28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: "And with the iniquitous he was reputed."

29. And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it,

30. save yourself by descending from the cross."

31. And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: "He saved others. He is not able to save himself.

32. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

33. And when the sixth hour arrived, a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.

34. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?" which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

35. And some of those standing near, upon hearing this, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36. Then one of them, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and placing it around a reed, gave it to him to drink, saying: "Wait. Let us see if Elijah will come to take him down."

37. Then Jesus, having emitted a loud cry, expired.
