A Note on the Text

Commentators note that this verse is missing from the oldest and most reliable manuscripts of Mark's Gospel. It was likely added by a later scribe to explicitly connect the crucifixion scene to the prophecy in Isaiah 53:12. While the event is historically and theologically true, the verse itself may not be part of Mark's original text.
