Matthew 27:45-54
Christian Standard Bible
The Death of Jesus
45 From noon until three in the afternoon,[a] darkness came over the whole land.[b](A) 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá[c] sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”[d](B)
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and offered him a drink.(C) 49 But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.(D) 51 Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary(E) was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were also opened(F) and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 And they came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 When the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” (G)

The Death of Jesus

47 When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify(D) God, saying, “This man really was righteous!” [f] 48 All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests.(E)

The Finished Work of Jesus
28 After(A) this, when Jesus knew that everything was now finished(B) that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, “I’m thirsty.”(C) 29 A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop branch(D) and held it up to his mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.”(E) Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.(F)
