45 (A)Now from the [a]sixth hour darkness [b]fell upon all the land until the [c]ninth hour. 46 And 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)And 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 were saying, “[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 sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom; and (G)the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52 And 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 (M)God’s Son!”

Jesus Dies on the Cross(A)

45 (B)Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour (C)Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, (D)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” 48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, (E)filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

49 The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

50 And Jesus (F)cried out again with a loud voice, and (G)yielded up His spirit.

51 Then, behold, (H)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 (I)So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, (J)“Truly this was the Son of God!”

55 And many women (K)who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, 56 (L)among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and [a]Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
