Matthew 27:45-56
International Standard Version
Jesus Dies on the Cross(A)
45 From noon[a] on, darkness came over the whole land[b] until three in the afternoon.[c] 46 About three o’clock,[d] Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, eli,[e] lema sabachthani?”,[f] which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”[g]
47 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah.”[h] 48 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[i] a drink.
49 But the others kept saying, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah will come and save him.”[j]
50 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice again and died.[k] 51 Suddenly, the curtain[l] in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, rocks were split open, 52 tombs were opened, and many[m] saints who had died[n] were brought back to life. 53 After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs, went into the Holy City,[o] and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion[p] and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”
55 Now many women were also there, watching from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had ministered to[q] him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene,[r] Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
