The Death of Jesus

45

And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

46

and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

47

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

48

and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink,

49

but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come--about to save him.'

50

And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

51

and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

52

and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

53

and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

54

And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God's Son.'
