35
And some of the bystanders, [when they] heard [it], said, "Behold, he is summoning Elijah!"
36
And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put [it] on a reed, [and] gave [it] to him to drink, saying, "Leave [him] alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down."
37
But Jesus uttered a loud cry [and] expired.
38
And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39
And [when] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"
40
And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome,
41
who used to follow him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other [women] who went up with him to Jerusalem.
Jesus Is Buried
42 And [when it] was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
43
Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the council who was also himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came acting courageously [and] went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44
And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already.
45
And [when he] learned of [it] from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
