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

⁴⁵ From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, "This man calleth for Elijah."

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him."

⁵⁰ Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple did rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, ⁵² and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose: ⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and came into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."

⁵⁵ And many women were there, beholding him afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him. ⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene; and Mary the mother of James and the mother of Joseph; and the mother of Zebedee's children.

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, darkness arose over all the earth, until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani," which is, if it be interpreted, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

³⁵ And some of them that stood by when they heard that said, "Behold, he calleth for Elijah." ³⁶ And one ran, and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it him to drink, saying, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."

³⁷ But Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion which stood before him saw that he so cried and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the son of God."

⁴⁰ There were also women a good way off beholding him: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the little and of Joseph, and Mary Salome: ⁴¹ which also when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him, and many other women which came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour. And there came a darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ and the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple did rent even through the midst. ⁴⁶ And Jesus cried with a great voice and said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And when he thus had said, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁷ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God saying, "Of a surety this man was perfect." ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done: smote their breasts, and returned home. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women, that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things.

²⁸ After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst." ²⁹ There stood a vessel full of vinegar by. And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and wound it about with hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³¹ The Jews then, because it was the Sabbath even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day - For that Sabbath day was a high day - besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down. ³² Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with Jesus. ³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true that ye might believe also. ³⁶ These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, 'Ye shall not break a bone of him.' ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, 'They shall look on him, whom they pierced.'
