45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour; 46  but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47  And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias. 48  And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled it with vinegar and fixed it on a reed, gave him to drink. 49  But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

50  And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. 51  And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent, 52  and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose, 53  and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 54  But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.
