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

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the earth, unto the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And 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 Some of them that stood there hearing it, said, He calleth Elijah.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge filled it with vinegar, and put it on a cane, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ The rest said, Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

⁵⁰ Jesus after he had cried again with a loud voice, dismissed his spirit. ⁵¹ And behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken and the rocks were torn asunder: And the tombs were opened, ⁵² and many bodies of holy men that slept were raised. ⁵³ And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and they that were with him, guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that were done, feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there, beholding afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. ⁵⁶ Among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

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

³⁵ And one of them that stood by, hearing it said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran and filling a sponge with vinegar, put it on a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and expired. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And the centurion, who stood over-against him, seeing that having so cried he expired, said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

⁴⁰ There were also women, beholding from afar, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome: ⁴¹ Who also when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him, and many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth till the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. ⁴⁶ And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And having said thus, he expired.

⁴⁷ And the centurion seeing what was done, glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people who had come together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, returned, smiting their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing, that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar. And filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a stalk of hyssop, they put it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and bowing the head, he gave up the Ghost.

³¹ Now because it was the preparation, lest the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a great day) the Jews besought Pilate, that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away. ³² Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him. ³³ But coming to Jesus, when they saw he was dead already, they brake not his legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and forthwith there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw, hath testified it, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye may believe. ³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of it shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.
