33 When the sixth hour[a] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[b] 34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”Psalm 22:1

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”

37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

33 And when[a] the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why[b] have you forsaken me?”)[c] 35 And some of the bystanders, when they[d] heard it,[e] said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it[f] on a reed, and[g] gave it[h] to him to drink, saying, “Leave him[i] alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.” 37 But Jesus uttered a loud cry and[j] expired. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when[k] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!” 40 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger[l] and Joses,[m] and Salome, 41 who used to follow[n] him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.
