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

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, \i Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And certain ones of those standing there hearing, said, He is calling Elijah.

⁴⁸ And one of them running and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and extending it on a reed, gave Him drink. ⁴⁹ And others were saying, Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah comes about to save Him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, gave up His spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom, and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; ⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose; ⁵³ and having come out of the tombs after His resurrection came into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and those watching Jesus with him, seeing the earthquake, and the things which took place, feared exceedingly, saying, Surely this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there looking on from a distance, who followed Jesus from Galilee to minister unto Him, ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³³ And it being the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, \i Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵ And certain ones of those standing by said, Behold, He is calling Elijah. ³⁶ And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and reaching it forth on a reed, gave Him drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.

³⁷ And Jesus, sending forth a loud voice, expired. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top even to the bottom. ³⁹ And the centurion standing by in front of Him, seeing that He thus expired, said; Surely this man was the Son of God.

⁴⁰ And there were women looking on from a distance: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and Joses, and Salome; ⁴¹ who when He was in Galilee, were accustomed both to follow Him, and minister unto Him. And many other women who came up to Jerusalem along with Him.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle. ⁴⁶ And calling with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, He expired.

⁴⁷ And the centurion seeing that which took place, glorified God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes being present at that scene, seeing those things which took place, were going away beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all His acquaintances stood a great way off and the women who having followed along with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus seeing that all things are already perfected, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst. ²⁹ Then a vessel was sitting by full of vinegar: and filling a sponge with vinegar and placing it on the hyssop, they brought it to His mouth.

³⁰ Then when Jesus received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

³¹ Then the Jews, in order that the bodies may not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, since it was the Preparation (for the day of that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate, that they might break their legs, and take them down. ³² Then the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other one being crucified along with Him. ³³ But having come 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 through with the spear, and immediately blood and water came out. ³⁵ And He having seen hath testified, and his testimony is true: and he knows that he speaks the truth, that you also may believe. ³⁶ For these things took place, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken. ³⁷ Again another Scripture says, They shall look on Him, whom they have pierced.
