Matthew 27:45-56 - Jesus Dies On The Cross
45 Now from the sixth hour to the ninth, the whole land was cover'd with darkness. 46 and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? that is to say, "my God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?"
47 some of the standers by, when they heard that, said, he calls upon Elias.
48 immediately one of them ran to fetch a spunge, which they steep'd in vinegar, and fastning it to the end of a stick, they presented it to him, to drink: 49 while the rest cry'd, now let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 but Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and then expir'd. 51 Immediately the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom; the earth trembled, the rocks split, 52 the graves opened, and the bodies of many saints who slept arose, 53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 now the centurion, and they that were with him, to guard Jesus, having observ'd the earthquake, and all that had happened, were under great apprehensions, and said, certainly this was the son of God.
55 And several women were there who look'd on at a distance, and had followed Jesus from Galilee, to assist him with their service. 56 among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
33 Now from the sixth hour the whole land was cover'd with darkness until the ninth hour. 34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cry'd out with a loud voice, saying, ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTANI, that is, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
35 some there present upon hearing that, said: observe, he calls upon Elias. 36 then one of the soldiers ran and dipp'd a spunge in vinegar, which he fastned to a stick, and offered him to drink. now let us, said they, see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37 then Jesus cry'd with a loud voice, and expired. 38 Immediately the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. 39 and the Centurion who stood over-against him, observing that he expired with so great a cry, said, certainly this man was the son of God.
40 there were likewise several women, who were spectators at a distance: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the minor, and of Joses and Salome: 41 who had attended Jesus, and supply'd him with necessaries when he was in Galilee: besides many other women, who came up with him to Jerusalem.
44 About the sixth hour, it was dark all over the land till the ninth hour. 45 the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was rent in two. 46 and Jesus cryed with a loud voice, saying, father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and in pronouncing these words, he expired.
47 The centurion upon seeing what had happen'd, gave glory to God, and said, certainly this was a righteous man. 48 and all the people that had crowded to that sight, went home striking their breasts at the thoughts of those events. 49 As for his acquaintance, they all stood at a distance, with the women that followed him from Galilee, and were spectators during the whole transaction.
28 after this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be be fulfilled, said, I thirst. 29 now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon a stick of hyssop, and held it to his mouth.
30 when Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished: and bowing his head, he expir'd.
31 Now for fear the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, for it was then the eve of the pascal-sabbath, a day of high solemnity, the Jews desired Pilate that their legs might be broke, and that they might be taken away. 32 accordingly the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. 33 then they came to Jesus, and finding that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water issued out. 35 he that relates this, was an eye-witness of it, and his relation is true: and he is so assured, what he says is true, that you may rely upon it. 36 for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken." 37 and again the scripture saith elsewhere, "they shall look on him whom they pierced."
