Matthew 27:45-51 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

45. Now from the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)

47. And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is summoning Elijah!”

48. And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.

49. But the others said, “Leave him alone! let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.”

50. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

51. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
