Mark 15:38

36 Then ^asomeone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and ^boffered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”

37 ^aAnd Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

38 Then ^athe veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39 So ^awhen the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that¹ He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

40 ^aThere were also women looking on ^bfrom afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

41 who also ^afollowed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Mark 15:21-41 They compel one Simon . . . to bear his cross. See notes on Matthew 27:32-56. Mark's account is almost parallel. Compare Luke 23:26-49 Joh 19:17-30. Only Mark declares that Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus. See Romans 16:13 1Ti 1:20 Ac 19:33. Simon, while a native of Cyrene in North Africa, was a Jew.
