Matthew 27:50

48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, ^afilled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

49 The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

50 And Jesus ^acried out again with a loud voice, and ^byielded up His spirit.

51 Then, behold, ^athe veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 ^aSo when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, ^b“Truly this was the Son of God!”

55 And many women ^awho followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,

56 ^aamong whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and¹ Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb

57 Now ^awhen evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.

Matthew 27:50 When he had cried again with a loud voice. "It is finished" (John 19:30), the sixth word from the cross. The three evangelists all dwell upon the loudness of the cry, as if it had been the triumphant note of the conqueror. The last words from the cross were those recorded in Luke, "Father, into thy hands", etc. (Luke 23:46). The first "word" in the prayer for his enemies (Luke 23:34). Yielded up the ghost. He voluntarily gave up his life for his sheep, and took it back again (John 10:17).
