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?"

So one of the men ran off at once, took a sponge, and soaked it in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink.

Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost.

And they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.

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."

And many women were there, beholding him afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, which same also was Jesus' disciple.

Mary from Magdala and the other Mary [i.e., probably Jesus' mother. See verse 56], stood near the grave site.
