The Death of Jesus

33 When(A) it was noon,[a] darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.[b](B) 34 And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”[c](C)

35 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “See, he’s calling for Elijah.”

36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a stick, offered him a drink,(D) and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down.”

37 Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 Then the curtain(E) of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 When the centurion, who was standing opposite him, saw the way he[d] breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” [e](F)

40 There(G) were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene,(H) Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 In Galilee(I) these women followed him and took care of him. Many other women had come up with him to Jerusalem.(J)

The Death of Jesus

44 It(A) was now about noon,[a] and darkness came over the whole land[b] until three,[c] 45 because the sun’s light failed.[d] The curtain(B) of the sanctuary was split down the middle. 46 And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.[e](C) Saying this, he breathed his last.

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) 49 But(F) all who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance,(G) watching these things.

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)
