45 But from the sixth hour darknesses were made on [upon] all the earth, till the ninth hour.[a]

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said [saying], Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 And some men that stood there [Soothly some standing there], and hearing, said, This calleth Elias.

48 And at once [And anon] one of them running, took and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave to him to drink.

49 But others said, Suffer thou; see we whether Elias come to deliver him.

50 Forsooth Jesus again cried with a great voice, and gave up the ghost. [Forsooth Jesus again crying with a great voice, sent out the spirit.]

51 And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two parts, from the highest to the lowest. And the earth shook, and the stones were cloven [And the earth was moved, and stones were cleft];

52 and burials were opened, and many bodies of saints that had slept, rose up.

53 And they went out of their burials, and after his resurrection they came into the holy city, and appeared to many.[b]

54 And the centurion and they that were with him keeping Jesus, when they saw the earth-shaking, and those things that were done, they dreaded greatly, and said [saying], Verily this was God's Son.

55 And there were there many women afar, that followed Jesus from Galilee, and ministered to him. [Forsooth many women were there afar, that followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.]

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James, and of Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
