The Death of Jesus

Mark 15:33-41

At noon, darkness covered the whole Land until three o'clock in the afternoon.

At three, he uttered a loud cry, "Elohi! Elohi! L'mah sh'vaktani?" (which means, "My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?")

On hear ing this, some of the bystanders said, "Look! He's calling for Eliyahu!"

One ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink. "Wait!" he said, "Let's see if Eliyahu will come and take him down."

But Yeshua let out a loud cry and gave up his spirit.

And the parokhet in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

When the Roman officer who stood facing him saw the way he gave up his spirit, he said, "This man really was a son of God!"

There were women looking on from a distance; among them were Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of the younger Ya`akov and of Yosi, and Shlomit.

These women had followed him and helped him when he was in the Galil. And many other women were there who had come up with him to Yerushalayim.
