Matthew 27:45–56

⁴⁵And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour, ⁴⁶and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?’ ⁴⁷And certain of those standing there having heard, said—‘Elijah he doth call;’ ⁴⁸and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink, ⁴⁹but the rest said, ‘Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come—about to save him.’

⁵⁰And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit; ⁵¹and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, ⁵²and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose, ⁵³and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. ⁵⁴And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, ‘Truly this was God’s Son.’ ⁵⁵And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, ⁵⁶among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
