The Death of Jesus

33

And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

34

and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

35

And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

36

and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

37

And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

38

and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

39

and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'

40

And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

41

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
