Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

There was darkness over the whole land until this ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of...

Mark 15:34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? There was a denser darkness over his spirit than was over all the land, and out of that darkness came this cry of agony.

Mark 15:34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? It is, “My El, my strong God, my mighty One, why hast thou forsaken me?” — the bitterest words that were ever uttered by mortal lips, and expressing the quintessence of agony. Alas! that...

Mark 15:35

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. Did they misunderstand his bitter cry of woe? Could they mistake what he meant? Was it not, on the part of these people that stood by, a willful wicked witticism upon what our Lord Jesus had said? We fear that it was so.

Mark 15:36

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. Jesus did receive this vinegar, and so fulfilled Psa_69:21 : “In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”

Mark 15:36-37

And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. His last words were, “It is finished.” “It is finish’d!” — Oh what pleasure Do these charming words afford! Heavenly...

Mark 15:37-38

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. Even as the flesh of Christ, which is the veil of the Incarnate God, was rent, so now was the veil of mystery taken away. The temple in her sorrow rent her veil. The old ceremonial law passed away with this token of...

Mark 15:38-39

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, The officer who had charge of the arrangements for the execution: “when the centurion, which stood over against him,” —

Mark 15:39

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. Convinced by the cross. Oh, the triumphs of Christ! The last word he speaks won this testimony from the centurion in charge of the crucifixion. Now we will read part of Luke’s narrative. This exposition...

Mark 15:39

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. Probably saying a great deal more than he understood. There was something so extraordinary about this central Sufferer that the Centurion could not understand who he could be unless he was truly “the Son of God.”

Mark 15:40-41

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. Where was Peter? We know that John was near the cross; but James and the...

And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counselor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. I have no doubt that Pilate was very surprised that a member of the Sanhedrim should come...

; Mar_15:46. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. This very centurion, who had declared that Jesus was the Son of God now came forward to bear witness that he had seen him die; and then...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. That is Mark’s account of our Lord’s death and burial, very terse, and very suggestive. Let us now read John’s...

Mark 16:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. We know that “him” whose name is not given here. There is scarcely need to mention that it was Jesus whom the women came to anoint. Oh, how gladly would we also anoint “him” whose name is The...

Mark 16:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
