Matthew 27:35-56

35And when they had crucifiedG4717 Him, 1they dividedG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves by castingG906 2lotsG2819. 36And sittingG2521 downG2521, they began to 3keepG5083 watchG5083 overG5083 Him thereG1563. 37And aboveG1883 His headG2776 they putG2007 upG2007 the chargeG156 againstG156 Him 4which readG1125, “5THISG3778 IS JESUSG2424 THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

38AtG5119 thatG5119 timeG5119 twoG1417 6rebelsG3027 were being crucifiedG4717 with Him, oneG1520 on the rightG1188 and oneG1520 on the leftG2176. 39And thoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 7speakingG987 abusivelyG987 to Him, 8shakingG2795 their headsG2776, 40and sayingG3004, “9You who are going to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 YourselfG4572! 10IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716.” 41In the sameG3668 wayG3668 the chiefG749 priestsG749 alsoG2532, along with the scribesG1122 and eldersG4245, were mockingG1702 Him and sayingG3004, 42“11He savedG4982 othersG243; 12He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 13He is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let Him nowG3568 comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 in Him. 4314He has trustedG3982 in GodG2316; let GodG2316 rescueG4506 Him nowG3568, ifG1487 He 15takesG2309 pleasureG2309 in Him; for He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.’” 4416And the 17rebelsG3027 who had been crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him in the sameG846 way.

4518NowG1161 from the 19sixthG1623 hourG5610 darknessG4655 20fellG1096 upon allG3956 the landG1093 untilG2193 the 21ninthG1729 hourG5610. 46And aboutG4012 the ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG310 outG310 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “22EliG2241, EliG2241, lemaG2982 sabaktaneiG4518?” that is, “My GodG2316, My GodG2316, whyG2444 have You forsakenG1459 Me?” 47And someG5100 of thoseG3588 who were standingG2476 thereG1563, when they heardG191 it, saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is callingG5455 for ElijahG2243.” 48And 23immediatelyG2112 oneG1520 of them ranG5143, and takingG2983 a spongeG4699, he filledG4092 it with sourG3690 wineG3690 and putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 Him aG4222 drinkG4222. 49But the restG3062 of them saidG3004, “24LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to saveG4982 Him25.” 50And JesusG2424 26criedG2896 outG2896 againG3825 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and gaveG863 upG863 His spiritG4151. 5127And beholdG2400, 28the 29veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 in twoG1417 from topG509 to bottomG2736; and 30the earthG1093 shookG4579 and the rocksG4073 were splitG4977. 52AlsoG2532 the tombsG3419 were openedG455, and manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the 31saintsG40 who had 32fallenG2837 asleepG2837 were raisedG1453; 53and comingG1831 outG1831 of the tombsG3419 afterG3326 His resurrectionG1454, they enteredG1525 33the holyG40 cityG4172 and appearedG1718 to manyG4183. 5434NowG1161 as for the centurionG1543 and thoseG3588 who were with him 35keepingG5083 guardG5083 overG5083 JesusG2424, when they sawG3708 36the earthquakeG4578 and the other things that were happeningG1096, they becameG5399 extremelyG4970 frightenedG5399 and saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 was 3738the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

5539And manyG4183 womenG1135 were thereG1563 watchingG2334 from a distanceG3113, whoG3748 had followedG190 JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056 while 40caringG1247 forG1247 Him. 56AmongG1722 them were 41MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 and JosephG2501, and 42the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199.
