The Death of Jesus

45

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47

And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

48

And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49

And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

50

And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

51

And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

52

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

53

and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

54

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
