10:48-52
Many
rebuked him telling him that he should be
quiet. But he cried out all the
more. “Son of David pity
me.” And standing still Jesus
said. “Call him over.” And they called the blind man saying to
him. “Be of good courage, rise. He is calling you.” So he, throwing away his garment and
leaping up came to Jesus. Answering
him Jesus said.” What do you want me
to do for you?” And the blind man
said to him. “Rabboni
let me see again.” And Jesus said to
him. “Go your faith has healed you.”
And immediately he (Bartimaeus) saw again
and followed Him
in the way.

15:22-41 They
brought him to the place of Golgotha. They gave him wine which had been spiced
with myrrh but he would not drink it.
And they crucified him. They
divided his garments, casting a lot on them to determine what they would
take. Now it was the third hour and
they crucified him. There was a
superscription of the accusation about him which was written over him. It said “The King of the Jews.”
And with him they crucified two robbers - one on the right and one
on the left of him. The ones passing by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
and saying. "Behold the one
who was going to overthrow the shrine and re-build it in three days. Save yourself and come down from the
cross." Likewise also the chief
priests called out mockery to one another and the scribes saying, “Others he saved. But he cannot save himself. If he is Christ the king of Israel,
let him come down from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also reproached
him. And as the sixth hour came
darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a great voice. "Eloi Eloi,
lama sabachthani." meaning “My God, My God, why did you forsake me?” Some of the people standing by on hearing
this said. "Behold he is
calling for Elias." Running,
someone filled a sponge with vinegar and placing it round a stick gave it
to him to drink saying. "Wait, let us see if Elias comes to take him
down." But Jesus, on crying out
with a loud voice, gave up his spirit.
And the veil of the shrine was ripped in two from top to
bottom. Seeing this
the centurion standing opposite him when he had thus expired
said. “Truly this man was the son of
God.” Now there were also women
watching from afar, amongst them were both Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother
of James the little and the mother of Joses and Salome. When he was in Galilee
they had followed him and served him.
There were also many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
