Matthew 27:45-56 - Jesus Dies On The Cross

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour; ⁴⁶ but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled it with vinegar and fixed it on a reed, gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. ⁵¹ And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent, ⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose, ⁵³ and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him, ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour; ³⁴ 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?

³⁵ And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls for Elias. ³⁶ And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

⁴⁰ And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; ⁴¹ who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst. ⁴⁶ And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

⁴⁷ Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just. ⁴⁸ And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst. ²⁹ There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great day,) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away. ³² The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him; ³³ but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs, ³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe. ³⁶ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
