Mark 15:33-40
The Death of Jesus
33 And when the sixth hour[a] had come,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[b] 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?” 35 And some of the
bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour
wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see
whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And
Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And
the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw
that in this way he[c] breathed
his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son[d] of God!”
40 There were also women looking on from a
distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the
younger and of Joses, and Salome.

Psalm 22:1-2
Why Have You Forsaken Me?
To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A
Psalm of David.
22 My God, my
God, why have you forsaken me?
Why
are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not
answer,
and
by night, but I find no rest.
