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

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour, ⁴⁶ and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

⁴⁷ And certain of those standing there having heard, said -- 'Elijah he doth call;'

⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink, ⁴⁹ but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come -- about to save him.'

⁵⁰ And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit; ⁵¹ and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, ⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose, ⁵³ and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'

⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³³ And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour, ³⁴ and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, 'Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

³⁵ And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, 'Lo, Elijah he doth call;' ³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

³⁷ And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit, ³⁸ and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, ³⁹ and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'

⁴⁰ And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst, ⁴⁶ and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

⁴⁷ And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;' ⁴⁸ and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back; ⁴⁹ and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;' ²⁹ a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth;

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

³¹ The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, ³³ and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water; ³⁵ and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;' ³⁷ and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
