Settings

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "1ELI, 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 2Immediately 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 3cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51 4And behold, 5the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and 6the earth shook and the rocks were split.
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had 7fallen asleep were raised;
53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered 8the holy city and appeared to many.
54 9Now the centurion, and those who were with him 10keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw 11the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was 12the Son of God!"
55 13Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while 14ministering to Him.
56 Among them was 15Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and 16the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
