*
And when the sixth hour had come ,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour .
*
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice , »
Eloi ,
Eloi ,
lama sabachthani ?«
which means , »
My God ,
my God ,
why have you forsaken me ?«
*
When some of those standing near heard this ,
they said , »
Behold ,
he is calling Elijah .«
*
And one ran and filled a sponge full of wine vinegar ,
put it on a reed ,
and offered it to him to drink ,
saying , »
Wait ,
let us see if Elijah will come to take him down .«
*
And with a loud cry ,
Jesus breathed his last .
*
Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom .
*
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 !«
*
There were also women looking on from afar ,
among whom were Mary Magdalene ,
Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses ,
and Salome ,
*
who also followed him and ministered to him when he was in Galilee ;
and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem .
