*
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 , »
Eli ,
Eli ,
lama sabachthani ?«
that is , »
My God ,
my God ,
why have you forsaken me ?«
*
When some of those standing there heard this ,
they said , »
This man is calling Elijah .«
*
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge ,
filled it with wine vinegar 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 .
*
And behold ,
the curtain of the temple was torn in two ,
from top to bottom ;
and the earth shook ,
and the rocks were split ;
*
the tombs also were opened ,
and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised ,
*
and coming out of the tombs 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 were terrified ,
and said , »
Truly this was the Son of God !«
*
And many women were also there ,
looking on from afar ,
who had followed Jesus from Galilee ,
ministering to him ;
*
among whom were Mary Magdalene ,
Mary the mother of James and Joses ,
and the mother of Zebedee
s sons .
