Matthew 27:45-56
Legacy Standard Bible
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!”
55 (N)And many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while [h](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
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land[a] until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, la′ma sabach-tha′ni?” that is, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” 47 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “This man is calling Eli′jah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Eli′jah will come to save him.”[b] 50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; 52 the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son[c] of God!”
55 There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; 56 among whom were Mary Mag′dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zeb′edee.
