33 Jesus Dies on the Cross Matthew 27:45-56; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-30At twelve noon, ^{▼▼Lit. the sixth hour} darkness came over the whole land ^{▼▼Or earth} until three in the afternoon. ^{▼▼Lit. the ninth hour}Matt 27:45; Luke 23:44 34 At three o'clock ^{▼▼Lit. the ninth hour} Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?”, which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ^{▼▼Ps 22:1}Ps 21:1; Matt 27:46

35 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “Listen! He's calling for Elijah!” ^{▼▼Elijah in Heb. sounds like Eloi.}

36 So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. him} a drink, saying, “Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!”Ps 69:21; Matt 27:48; John 19:29

37 Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.Matt 27:50; Luke 23:45; John 19:30 38 The curtain ^{▼▼This curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.} in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.Matt 27:51; Luke 23:45 39 When the centurion ^{▼▼A Roman centurion commanded about 100 men.} who stood facing Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. him} saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, ^{▼▼Other mss. read saw how he had breathed his last} he said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”Matt 27:54; Luke 23:46

40 Now there were women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of young James and Joseph, and Salome.Ps 38:11; Matt 27:55; Luke 23:49 41 They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.Luke 8:2-3

And the curtain ^{▼▼This curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.} in the sanctuary was torn in two.Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38 46 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” ^{▼▼Ps 31:5} After he said this, he breathed his last.Ps 31:5; Matt 27:50; Mark 15:37; John 19:30; 1Pet 2:23

47 When the centurion ^{▼▼A Roman centurion commanded about 100 men.} saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “This man certainly was righteous!”Matt 27:54; Mark 15:39 48 When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts and turned back. 49 But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things.Ps 38:11; Matt 27:55; Mark 15:40; John 19:25
