Neville Goddard on Mark 15:34-39 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 15 in context

Scripture Focus

34And 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?

35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36And 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.

37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39And 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.

Mark 15:34-39

Biblical Context

In Mark 15:34-39, Jesus cries out on the cross, the temple veil is torn, and a centurion proclaims him the Son of God. The passage moves from suffering to a revelation about divine presence within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the cross you do not behold a distant event, but the ongoing drama of your own mind. The cry My God, why hast thou forsaken me? is the moment your awareness tilts toward separation. In Neville’s frame, separation is a garment of belief, not a final fact. The tearing of the temple veil is the inward sign that the boundaries you thought existed between you and the divine are only thoughts dissolving. The centurion’s astonished confession Truly this man was the Son of God is your inner recognition dawning: you are the Son of God, the I AM, expressing as life through forms. This scene invites you to revise the story you have told about yourself. Suffering becomes a signal to awaken, not a sentence to endure; pain reorganizes memory so you remember your divine presence. The cross, the cry, and the tearing veil—all are symbols urging you to stop chasing salvation outside and to claim the infinite presence within.
