Matthew 27:45-56

45

FromG575 the sixthG1623 hourG5610 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG56101 darknessG4655 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3956 theG3588 landG1093. 46AboutG4012 theG3588 ninthG1766 hourG5610 JesusG2424 cried outG310 in a loud voiceG3173G5456, “EliG2241, EliG2241,2 lemaG2982 sabachthaniG4518?” whichG3778 meansG1510, “MyG1473 GodG2316, MyG1473 GodG2316, whyG2443G5101 have You forsakenG1459 MeG1473?”3

47WhenG1161 someG5100 of thoseG3588 standingG2476 thereG1563 heard thisG191, they saidG2036, “He is callingG5455 ElijahG2243.” 48OneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 quicklyG2112 ranG5143 andG2532 broughtG2983 a spongeG4699. He filledG4130 it with sour wineG3690,4 put it onG4060 a reedG2563, and held it up for Jesus to drinkG4222G846.5

49ButG1161 theG3588 othersG3062 saidG2036, “Leave Him aloneG863. Let us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to saveG4982 HimG846.”6

50WhenG1161 JesusG2424 had cried outG2896 againG3825 in a loud voiceG3173G5456, He yielded upG863 His spiritG4151. 51At that momentG2532G2400 theG3588 veilG2665 of theG3588 templeG3485 was tornG4977 inG1519 twoG1417 fromG575 topG509 toG2193 bottomG2736. TheG3588 earthG1093 quakedG4579, andG2532 theG3588 rocksG4073 were splitG4977. 52TheG3588 tombsG3419 broke openG455, andG2532 the bodiesG4983 of manyG4183 saintsG40 who had fallen asleepG2837 were raisedG1453. 53AfterG3326 Jesus’ resurrectionG1454, when they had comeG1831 out ofG1537 theG3588 tombsG3419, they enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172 andG2532 appearedG1718 to manyG4183 people.

54WhenG1161 theG3588 centurionG1543 andG2532 thoseG3588 withG3326 himG846 who were guardingG5083 JesusG2424 sawG3708 theG3588 earthquakeG4578 andG2532 all thatG3588 had happenedG1096, they were terrifiedG5399G4970 and saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 wasG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

55AndG1161 manyG4183 womenG1135 wereG1510 thereG1563, watchingG2334 fromG575 a distanceG3113. They had followedG190 JesusG2424 fromG575 GalileeG1056 to ministerG1247 to HimG846. 56AmongG1722 them wereG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 theG3588 motherG3384 of JamesG2385 andG2532 JosephG2501, andG2532 theG3588 motherG3384 ofG3588 Zebedee’sG2199 sonsG5207.
