The Death of Jesus^(A)

⁴⁵ From noon until three in the afternoon darkness^(B) came over all the land. ⁴⁶ About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).^[b](C)

⁵⁰ And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.^(A)

⁵¹ At that moment the curtain of the temple^(B) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split^{(C) 52} and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. ⁵³ They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and^[a] went into the holy city^(D) and appeared to many people.

⁵⁴ When the centurion and those with him who were guarding^(E) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”^(F)
