The Death of Jesus. ³³ At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. ³⁴ And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”^[a] which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”^{(A) 35 [b]}Some of the bystanders who heard it said, “Look, he is calling Elijah.” ³⁶ One of them ran, soaked a sponge with wine, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.” ³⁷ Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. ^38 [c]The veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. ^39 [d](B)When the centurion who stood facing him saw how he breathed his last he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” ^40 [e]There were also women looking on from a distance.^(C) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of the younger James and of Joses, and Salome. ⁴¹ These women had followed him when he was in Galilee and ministered to him. There were also many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

^44 [a]It was now about noon^(A) and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon ⁴⁵ because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.^{(B) 46} Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit”; and when he had said this he breathed his last.^{(C) 47} The centurion who witnessed what had happened glorified God and said, “This man was innocent^[b] beyond doubt.” ⁴⁸ When all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts;^{(D) 49} but all his acquaintances stood at a distance, including the women who had followed him from Galilee and saw these events.^(E)

The Burial of Jesus.^(F)

^28 (A)After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled,^[a] Jesus said, “I thirst.”^{(B) 29} There was a vessel filled with common wine.^[b] So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. ^30 [c]When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.”^(C) And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
