The Death of Jesus

³³ And when the sixth hour^[a] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.^{[b] 34} And at the ninth hour Jesus ^(A)cried with a loud voice, ^(B)“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ³⁵ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

The Death of Jesus

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now ^(A)finished, said (^(B)to fulfill the Scripture), ^(C)“I thirst.” ²⁹ A jar full of sour wine stood there, ^(D)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, ^(E)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and ^(F)gave up his spirit.

⁴⁶ Then Jesus, ^(A)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(B)into your hands I ^(C)commit my spirit!” And having said this ^(D)he breathed his last. ⁴⁷ Now ^(E)when the centurion saw what had taken place, ^(F)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!”

³⁸ And ^(A)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. ^39 (B)And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he^[a] breathed his last, he said, ^(C)“Truly this man was the Son^[b] of God!”
