15:31. In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. 15:32. Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled him. 15:33. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour. 15:34. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted: My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me? 15:35. And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias. 15:36. And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down. 15:37. And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. 15:38. And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. 15:39. And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost said: Indeed this man was the son of God. 15:40. And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph and Salome, 15:41. Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. 15:42. And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath), 15:43. Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. 15:44. But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. 15:45. And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 15:46. And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. 15:47. And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid. Mark Chapter 16 Christ's resurrection and ascension. 16:1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. 16:2. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. The sun being now risen... They set out before it was light, to go to the sepulchre; but the sun was risen when they arrived there. Or, figuratively, the sun here spoken of is the sun of justice, Christ Jesus our Lord, who was risen before their coming. 16:3. And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 16:4. And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great.
