Matthew 27:45-56
New American Standard Bible 1995
45 (A)Now from the [a]sixth hour darkness [b]fell upon all the land until the [c]ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(B)Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 (C)Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49 But the rest of them said, “[d]Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him[e].” 50 And Jesus (D)cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 (E)And behold, (F)the [f]veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and (G)the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the [g]saints who had (H)fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered (I)the holy city and appeared to many. 54 (J)Now the centurion, and those who were with him (K)keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw (L)the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was [h](M)the Son of God!”
55 (N)Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while [i](O)ministering to Him. 56 Among them was (P)Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and (Q)the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

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)
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar,(D) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.(E)
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple(F) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split(G) 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[c] went into the holy city(H) and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding(I) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”(J)
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.(K) 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[d] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.(L)
