43
He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44
Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.
45
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
47
Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!"
48
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.
49
The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."
50
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
52
and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53
and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,
56
among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
57
Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
58
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
59
When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60
and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
61
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62
On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,
63
saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.'
