* Now from the sixth hour to the ninth , the whole land was in darkness . * About the ninth hour , Jesus cried aloud , saying , that is , * Some of the bystanders hearing this , said , He calls Elijah . * Instantly one of them ran , brought a sponge , and soaked it in vinegar , and having fastened it to a stick , presented it to him to drink . * The rest said , Forbear , we shall see whether Elijah will come to save him . * Jesus having again cried with a loud voice , resigned his spirit . * And , behold , the vail of the temple was rent in two from top to bottom , the earth trembled , and the rocks split . * Graves also burst open ; and after his resurrection , the bodies of several saints who slept were raised , * came out of the graves , went into the holy city , and were seen by many . * Now the centurion , and they who , with him , guarded Jesus , observing the earthquake , and what passed , were exceedingly terrified , and said , This was certainly the son of a god . * Several women also were there , looking on at a distance , who had followed Jesus from Galilee , assisting him with their service . * Among them were Mary the Magdalene , and Mary the mother of James and Joses , and the mother of Zebedee 's sons .
