Matthew 27:33-51
33 a And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 b they offered him wine to drink, mixed with c gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him d they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and e kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus f the King of the Jews.” 38 Then two g robbers were crucified with him h one on the right and one on the left. 39 And i those who passed by j derided him k wagging their heads 40 and saying l “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! m If you are n the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 o “He saved others; p he cannot save himself. q He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 r He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 s And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.The Death of Jesus
45 Now from the sixth hour ▼
▼
That is, noon
there was darkness over all the land
▼
▼
Or earth
until the ninth hour.
▼
▼
That is, 3 p.m.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus w cried out with a loud voice, saying, x “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with y sour wine, and put it on a reed and z gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” 50 And Jesus aa cried out again with a loud voice and ab yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold ac the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And ad the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
