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

⁴⁵ Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land - until the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And, about the ninth hour, Jesus uttered a cry, with a loud voice, saying - Eloi! Eloi! lema sabachthanei? that is, My God! my God! to what end hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say - This man, calleth, Elijah.

⁴⁸ And, straightway, one from among them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar and putting it on a reed, was giving him to drink; ⁴⁹ but, the rest, said - Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, and will save him. .

⁵⁰ And, Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, dismissed the spirit. ⁵¹ And lo! the veil of the Temple, was rent, from top to bottom, into two; and, the earth, was shaken, and, the rocks, were rent; ⁵² and, the tombs, were opened and, many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep, arose, - ⁵³ and, coming forth out of the tombs after his arising, entered into, the holy city, and plainly appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now, the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things coming to pass, were violently affrighted, saying - Truly, God's Son, was, he!

⁵⁵ Now there were there, many women, from afar, beholding, who indeed had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him; ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, also Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³³ And, when it was the sixth hour, darkness, came on all the land - until the ninth hour; ³⁴ and, at the ninth hour, Jesus, uttered a cry, with a loud voice - Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthanei? which is, being translated - My God! My God!to what end, didst thou forsake me?

³⁵ And, some of the by-standers, having heard, were saying - See! Elijah, he calleth! ³⁶ And one, running, filled a sponge with vinegar, and, putting it about a reed, was giving him to drink, saying - Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, to take him down!

³⁷ But, Jesus, sending out a loud voice, ceased to breathe. ³⁸ And, the veil of the Temple, was rent into two, from top to bottom. ³⁹ Now the centurion, who was standing near, out over against him, seeing, that, thus, he ceased to breathe, said - Truly, this man, was God's son!

⁴⁰ And there were, women also, from afar, looking on, - among whom were both Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome; ⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee, used to follow him, and minister unto him, - and many other women, who had come up with him unto Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, - ⁴⁵ the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. ⁴⁶ And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said - Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.

⁴⁷ And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying - In very deed, this man, was, righteous. ⁴⁸ And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return. ⁴⁹ But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, - beholding these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that, already, all things, have been finished, - that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith - I thirst! ²⁹ A vessel, was standing, full of vinegar. A sponge, therefore, full of the vinegar, put about, hyssop, brought they unto his mouth.

³⁰ When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said - It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath, - for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came; and, of the first, indeed, brake the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, - ³³ but coming, unto Jesus, when they saw that, already, he was dead, they brake not his legs; - ³⁴ but, one of the soldiers, with a spear, pierced, his side, and there came out, straightway, blood and water. ³⁵ And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled - A bone thereof, shall not be crushed; ³⁷ and, again, a different Scripture, saith - They shall look unto him whom they pierced.
