Jesus Dies on the Cross
33
Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth
hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”
which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35
Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is
calling for Elijah!” 36 Then someone ran and filled
a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him
to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to
take Him down.” 37 And Jesus cried out with a
loud voice, and breathed His last. 38 Then the
veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39
So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried
out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the
Son of God!” 40 There were also women looking
on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James
the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also
followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many
other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem."
