32. Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the stake, so we may see and believe!” Even those executed with Him were ridiculing Him.
33. When the sixth hour had come, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34. At the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”
35. When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah.”
36. Then someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a stick and was offering it to Yeshua to drink, saying, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
37. But letting out a loud cry, Yeshua breathed His last.
38. Then the curtain of the Temple was split in two, from top to bottom.
39. When the centurion, who was standing in front of Him, saw the way Yeshua breathed His last, he said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”
40. There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Miriam from Magdala, Miriam the mother of Jacob the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
41. They would follow Him and serve Him when He was in the Galilee. Many other women who had gone up together with Him to Jerusalem were there also.
42. Now evening had already come. Since it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before Shabbat,
43. Joseph of Arimathea, a respected council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body.
44. Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether Yeshua had been dead for long.
45. When Pilate learned this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
