33 Now ^awhen the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, ^a“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 ^asomeone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and ^boffered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”

37 ^aAnd Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

38 Then ^athe veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39 So ^awhen the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that¹ He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
