34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
35
Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!"
36
Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."
37
And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38
Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39
So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"
40
There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,
41
who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
42
Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43
Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44
Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.
