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

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there was darkness on all the land till the ninth hour; ⁴⁶ and at about the ninth hour Jesus cried 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 standing there hearing him, said, He calls for Elijah.

⁴⁸ And one of them ran immediately to him, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come and save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus crying again with a loud voice, gave up the spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks rent, ⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of saints that slept arose, ⁵³ and going out of the tombs, after his resurrection entered into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the [other] events which occurred, were greatly afraid, and said, Certainly, this was a Son of God.

⁵⁵ And there were many women there, beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, to wait upon him; ⁵⁶ among whom were Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

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

³⁵ And some of those standing by, hearing him, said, See, he calls Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran, and filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink, saying, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus crying with a loud voice, expired. ³⁸ And the vail of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom; ³⁹ and the centurion who stood near, opposite to him, seeing that he so expired, said, Truly, this man was a Son of God.

⁴⁰ And the women also saw from afar, among whom were Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joset, and Salome, ⁴¹ who also followed him when he was in Galilee, and waited on him, and many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour [noon]; and there was a darkness over all the land till the ninth hour [3 P.M.]. ⁴⁵ And the sun was obscured; and the vail in the midst of the temple was rent in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit; and having said this, he expired.

⁴⁷ And the centurion seeing what was done, glorified God, saying, Truly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes who had come together to this spectacle, beholding what was done, returned beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all his friends stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, seeing these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already finished, that the Scripture might be fully accomplished, said, I thirst. ²⁹ Then a vessel was set full of vinegar; and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a hyssop stalk, they presented it to his mouth.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus took the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and inclining his head gave up the spirit.

³¹ Then the Jews, that the bodies might not continue on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, for that was a great sabbath, asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken down. ³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other crucified with him, ³³ and coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they broke not his legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. ³⁵ He who saw has testified, and his testimony is true, for he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe. ³⁶ For these things were done 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 have pierced.
