33 At noon, it got dark everywhere, until around 3pm, 34 when Yeshua shouted loudly, “My god, my god, why have you abandoned me?”[ref]

35 Some of the people standing nearby thought he was calling the prophet Eliyah (Elijah). 36 One of them ran, and soaked a sponge in some sour wine, then put it on a stick and held it up for Yeshua to drink, saying, “Hang on. Let’s see if Eliyah does come to get him down.”[ref]

37 But just then Yeshua uttered a loud cry and exhaled his last breath.

38 (Back in the temple, the curtain tore down the middle from the top to the bottom.)[ref] 39 When Yeshua died, the Roman centurion who had been standing back watching everything said, “This man was definitely God’s son.”

40 Further back, there was also a group of women observing everything. These included Maria from Magdala, Maria the mother of young Yacob and Yoses, and Salome,[ref] 41 and others who had followed Yeshua around Galilee and helped look after him, along with many others who had come down with him to Yerushalem.
