Markos 15:21-47

Markos 15:21-47 TOJB2011

And a certain Shim'on from Cyrene was passing by, who was coming in from [the] countryside. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. The chaiyalim (soldiers) requisition him in order that he carry Moshiachʼs Etz. And they bring Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a place called Gulgolta, which means, being translated, Place of the Skull. And they were giving to him yayin having been mixed with myrrh, but this one did not take it. And they hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HaEtz and YICHALLEKU VEGADAI (they divide the garments) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and VAPPILU GORAL (they cast lots) for them, to decide what each might take. Now it was [the] third hour when they nailed and hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HAETZ. And the inscription of the charge against him was inscribed above his rosh, Melech HaYehudim. And with him they also nailed, each to his own etz, shnei shodedim, one on [the] right, one on [the] left of him. [And the Kitvei Hakodesh was fulfilled, VES POSHEIM NIMNAH (and with lawless persons he was numbered).] And the ones passing by were reviling him and shaking their heads and saying, Ha! The one bringing churban on the Beis HaMikdash and rebuilding [it] in shlosha yamim, Save yourself! Come down from the etz! Likewise, also, the Rashei Hakohanim with the Sofrim were also mocking him, saying, He saved others, but himself he is not able to save. Let the Moshiach, let Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach of Yisroel, let [him] come down now from the etz, in order that we may see and have emunah! And the ones having been hanged on the etz on either side of him were reproaching him. And when the sixth hour came, it became choshech over kol haaretz until [the] ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, he cried out in a kol gadol (loud voice), Eloi, Eloi lamah sabachthani? — which means, being translated, ELI ELI LAMAH AZAVTANI? (My G-d, my G-d, why have you forsaken me?) And some of the ones having been standing nearby and having heard, were saying, Hinei! He calls for Eliyahu HaNavi! And someone having run and having filled a sponge with CHOMETZ (vinegar), and having placed it on a staff, gave a drink to him, saying, Leave him alone. Let us see if Eliyahu Hanavi comes to take him down. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having uttered a kol gadol (loud voice) and having breathed his last, expired. And the Parochet in the Heikhal was torn in two from top to bottom. And the centurion, having stood nearby opposite him, and having seen that he expired this way, said Beemes (actually, in truth), this man was the Ben HaElohim! And there were also nashim (women) looking on from a distance, among whom [were] Miryam from Magdala, and Miryam the Em of the younger Ya'akov and of Yosi, and Shlomit. They were with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Galil and they had been following him and serving him, and there were many other Jewish women who, with Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, had made their aliyah leregel (pilgrimage) up to Yerushalayim. And already, erev (evening) fast approaching, vibahlt (since) it was Preparation Day, which is the day before Shabbos, Yosef of Ramatayim, a member of the Sanhedrin and a man of chashivut (prominence) there, a man who was also himself looking forward to the Malchut HASHEM, had the bold chozek to go into Pilate and ask for the gufat Yehoshua. And Pilate was amazed that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was already niftar (deceased), and Pilate summoned the centurion to question him whether Yehoshua was niftar already. And having found out from the centurion, he gave the geviyah (body) to Yosef. And having bought linen cloth tachrichim (shrouds) and having taken Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach down, he wrapped him in the tachrichim (shrouds) and placed him in a kever which had been cut from rock, and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the kever. And Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the Em of Yosi were observing of where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had been laid.
