The Death of Jesus

(Psalm 22:1–31, Matthew 27:45–56, Luke 23:44–49, John 19:28–30)

From [the] sixth hour until [the] ninth hour[fn] darkness came over all the land. 34 At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out vvv in a loud voice,“Eloi, Eloi, lima[fn] sabachthani?” which vvv means,“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”[fn]

35 

When some of those standing nearby heard [this], they said,“Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36 

And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine.[fn] He put [it] on a reed and held it up for [Jesus] to drink saying,“Leave [Him] alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down

37 

But Jesus let out vvv a loud cry [and] breathed His last. 38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39 

When the centurion standing there vvv in front of [Jesus] saw [how] He had cried out [and][fn] breathed His last, he said,“Truly this man was [the] Son of God!”

40 

And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses,[fn] and Salome. 41 [These women] had followed [Jesus] and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and [there were] many other [women] who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.
