   38 (Lk 23:45) And the curtain of the temple was torn   
   in two from top to bottom.   
   39 (Mt 27:54; 27:43) When the centurion   
   (Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers.)   
   who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit,   
   he said, "Truly, this Man was the Son of God."   
   40 (Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) There were also women looking on from   
   a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother   
   of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome.   
   41 (Lk 8:2-3) They also had followed Him and had ministered   
   to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up   
   with Him to Jerusalem were there.   
      
   [33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole   
   land until the ninth hour.   
   [34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi,   
   Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why   
   hast thou forsaken me?   
   [35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he   
   calleth Elias.   
   [36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed,   
   and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come   
   to take him down.   
   [37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.   
   [38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the   
   bottom.   
   [39] And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so   
   cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of   
   God.   
   [40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary   
   Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the   
   less and of Joses, and Salome;   
   [41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto   
   him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.   
      
   Matthew 27:45-56   
      
   The Death of Jesus   
   Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30   
      
   45 (Am 8:9; Mk 15:33-34) Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour   
   there was darkness over all the land.   
   46 (Ps 22:1; Lk 23:46; Heb 5:7) About the ninth hour Jesus cried out   
   with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,   
   "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)   
   47 Some of those who stood there heard it and said,   
   "This Man is calling for Elijah."   
   48 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34) Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge,   
   filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink.   
   49 The rest said, "Leave Him alone.   
   Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."   
   50 (Jn 19:30; Mk 15:37) And Jesus, when He had cried out again   
   with a loud voice, released His spirit.   
   51 (Mk 15:38; Ex 26:31-37) At that moment the curtain of the temple   
   was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook,   
   and the rocks split apart.   
   52 (1Co 15:20; 1Th 4:14) The graves also were opened, and many bodies   
   of the saints who had died were raised,   
   53 (Mt 4:5) and coming out of the graves after His resurrection,   
   they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.   
   54 (Mt 27:36; 27:43) When the centurion and those with him,   
   keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place,   
   they feared greatly and said, "Truly He was the Son of God!"   
   55 (Lk 8:2-3) Many women who were there watching from afar followed   
   Jesus from Galilee, serving Him,   
   56 (Jn 19:25; Mt 28:1) among whom was Mary Magdalene,   
   and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.   
      
   [45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the   
   ninth hour.   
   [46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,   
   Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou   
   forsaken me?   
   [47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man   
   calleth for Elias.   
   [48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with   
   vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.   
   [49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.   
   [50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.   
   [51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to   
   the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;   
   [52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept   
   arose,   
   [53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the   
   holy city, and appeared unto many.   
   [54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus,   
   saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,   
   saying, Truly this was the Son of God.   
   [55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from   
   Galilee, ministering unto him:   
   [56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses,   
   and the mother of Zebedee's children.   
      
   Luke 23:44-49   
      
   The Death of Jesus   
   Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Jn 19:28-30   
      
   44 (Am 8:9; Mt 27:45) It was now about the sixth hour,   
   and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,   
   45 (Ex 26:31-33; 2Ch 3:14) while the sun was darkened.   
   And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.   
   46 (Jn 19:30; Ps 31:5; Ac 7:59) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice,   
   "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."   
   Having said this, He gave up the spirit.   
   47 (Mt 27:54; Mk 15:39) When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified   
   God and said, :Certainly, this was a righteous Man."   
   48 (Lk 18:13) All the crowds who came together to that sight,   
   witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and ­returned.   
   49 (Lk 8:2; Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) But all those who knew Him   
   and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance,   
   seeing these things.   
      
   [44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the   
   earth until the ninth hour.   
   [45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the   
   midst.   
   [46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy   
   hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.   
   [47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,   
   Certainly this was a righteous man.   
   [48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the   
   things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.   
   [49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee,   
   stood afar off, beholding these things.   
      
   John 19:28-37   
      
   The Death of Jesus   
   Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49   
      
   28 (Ps 69:21; Jn 13:1) After this, Jesus, knowing that everything   
   was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,   
   "I thirst."   
   29 (Mt 27:48; Mk 15:36) A bowl full of sour wine was placed there.   
   So they put a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop and held it to His mouth.   
   30 (Lk 23:46; Jn 17:4) When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,   
   "It is finished." And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.   
      
   [28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that   
   the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.   
   [29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge   
   with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.   
   [30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:   
   and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.   
      
   The Piercing of Jesus' Side   
      
   31 (Jn 19:14; 19:42; Jos 8:29) Since it was the Day of Preparation,   
   to prevent bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath day   
   (for that Sabbath day was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate   
   that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
