* At noon a darkness came over the whole country , lasting until three in the afternoon . * At three oclock Jesus cried in a loud voice , "Eloi , Eloi , lama sabachthani ?" which means , "My God , my God , why hast thou forsaken me ?" * When they heard this , some of the bystanders said , "Listen , he is calling for Elijah ." * Then a man ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine , and put it on a stick , and offered it to him to drink , saying , "Wait , let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down !" * But Jesus uttered a loud cry and expired . * And the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom . * Then the army captain , who was standing facing Jesus when he thus died , said , "in truth this man was a Son of God ." * There were some women also watching from a distance . Among them were both Mary Magdalene , and Mary the mother of Jamesthe younger and of Joses , and Salome , * women who used to follow him when he was in Galilee , and minister to him ; and many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him .
