SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:33–41: Jesus died

Mark told the story of Jesus’ death and indicated the time certain important events happened. Jesus was nailed to the cross at the third hour of the day (9:00 a.m.). Then at the sixth hour (12:00 noon) it became as dark as nighttime. It probably remained dark until Jesus died sometime during the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

Three important events happened in this section. First, Jesus shouted, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” These are the only words that Mark recorded that Jesus spoke while on the cross. They show that God the Father rejected Jesus while he took upon himself the sins of mankind. Second, when Jesus died, the curtain in the temple was torn in two. This curtain represented the barrier between mankind and the presence of God. Third, the Roman centurion in charge of the crucifixion confessed that Jesus was the Son of God. (He was the first man in the book of Mark to say this.)

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The death of Jesus

Jesus dies on the cross

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 27:45–56, Luke 23:44–49, and John 19:28–30.

15:35a

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said,

15:35b

“Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

15:35a–b

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”: The Hebrew (or Aramaic) words for “my God” are very similar in sound to “Elijah.” So these people misunderstood what Jesus said. They wrongly thought that he was calling Elijah. You may want to put this information in a footnote. In some languages you may want to make it explicit in the text. For example:

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they did not hear him clearly and so they said…

When some of those standing nearby heard the word “Eloi,” they misunderstood and said…

some of those standing nearby: The Greek word that the BSB translates as those standing nearby in this context means “those who were near” or “those who were there.” It is true that these people were probably standing, but the focus is not on their posture.

Behold: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Behold is literally “Look.” However, the speakers were calling attention to what they were about to say. Some languages may have a word that people use to get the attention of other people. In other languages it may be natural to leave this word untranslated.

See also the note on 1:2b–c, where a similar word is used in Greek.

Elijah: The word Elijah is the name of a prophet. He lived about nine hundred years before Jesus. Some Jews believed that Elijah would come to rescue righteous people at a time of trouble. So these people probably thought Jesus was calling for Elijah to come and help him. If people do not know who Elijah was, you could say:

Elijah the prophet

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀκούσαντες

˓having˒_heard

Mark implies that the people did not understand what Jesus said. They heard him say “Eloi,” which means “My God,” but they thought it sounded like the name Elijah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state more explicitly that these people misunderstood Jesus. Alternate translation: [having heard Jesus speaking without understanding him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἴδε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τινές τῶν παρεστηκότων ἀκούσαντες ἔλεγον Ἴδε Ἠλίαν φωνεῖ)

Here, the word Behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen or pay attention. Alternate translation: [Pay attention] or [See]
