Matthew 27:43-53

43 "¹HE TRUSTS IN GOD; LET GOD RESCUE Him now, IF HE DELIGHTS IN HIM; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

44 ²The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

45 ³Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "⁴ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

48 ⁵Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

49 But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

50 And Jesus ⁶cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

51 ⁷And behold, ⁸the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ⁹the earth shook and the rocks were split.

52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had ¹⁰fallen asleep were raised;

53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered ¹¹the holy city and appeared to many.
