Mark 15:33-16:20
New King James Version
Jesus Dies on the Cross(A)
33 Now (B)when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, (C)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36 Then (D)someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and (E)offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
37 (F)And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38 Then (G)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 So (H)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that [a]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
40 (I)There were also women looking on (J)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also (K)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(L)
42 (M)Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who (N)was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 (O)Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
He Is Risen(P)
16 Now (Q)when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome (R)bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 (S)Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 (T)And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 (U)But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going [b]before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, (V)as He said to you.”
8 So they went out [c]quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. (W)And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord(X)
9 [d]Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, (Y)out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 (Z)She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 (AA)And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples(AB)
12 After that, He appeared in another form (AC)to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
The Great Commission(AD)
14 (AE)Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 (AF)And He said to them, “Go into all the world (AG)and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 (AH)He who believes and is baptized will be saved; (AI)but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these (AJ)signs will follow those who [e]believe: (AK)In My name they will cast out demons; (AL)they will speak with new tongues; 18 (AM)they[f] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; (AN)they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand(AO)
19 So then, (AP)after the Lord had spoken to them, He was (AQ)received up into heaven, and (AR)sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them (AS)and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
