*
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land .
*
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice ,
saying , "
Eli ,
Eli ,
lama sabachthani ?"
that is , "
My God ,
My God ,
why have You forsaken Me ?"
*
Some of those who stood there ,
when they heard that ,
said , "
This Man is calling for Elijah !"
*
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge ,
filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed ,
and offered it to Him to drink .
*
The rest said , "
Let Him alone ;
let us see if Elijah will come to save Him ."
*
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice ,
and yielded up His spirit .
*
Then ,
behold ,
the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom ;
and the earth quaked ,
and the rocks were split ,
*
and the graves were opened ;
and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised ;
*
and coming out of the graves after His resurrection ,
they went into the holy city and appeared to many .
*
So when the centurion and those with him ,
who were guarding Jesus ,
saw the earthquake and the things that had happened ,
they feared greatly ,
saying , "
Truly this was the Son of God !"
*
And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee ,
ministering to Him ,
were there looking on from afar ,
*
among whom were Mary Magdalene ,
Mary the mother of James and Joses ,
and the mother of Zebedee '
s sons .
