Mark 15:33-39; 16:1-6

(Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last)

At noon darkness came over the whole land
     until three in the afternoon.
And at three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
     "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?"
     which is translated,
     "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Some of the bystanders who heard it said,
     "Look, he is calling Elijah."
One of them ran, soaked a sponge with wine, put it on a reed,
     and gave it to him to drink, saying,
     "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down."
Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
The veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
When the centurion who stood facing him
     saw how he breathed his last he said,
     "Truly this man was the Son of God!"
[When the sabbath was over,
     Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome
     bought spices so that they might go and anoint him.
Very early when the sun had risen,
     on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb.
They were saying to one another,
     "Who will roll back the stone for us
     from the entrance to the tomb?"
When they looked up,
     they saw that the stone had been rolled back;
     it was very large.
On entering the tomb they saw a young man
     sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe,
     and they were utterly amazed.
He said to them, "Do not be amazed!
You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified.
He has been raised; he is not here.
Behold the place where they laid him."]
