46 About three o'clock, Jesus cried out in a loud voice. He said, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" This means "My God, my God, why have you deserted me?" (Psalm 22:1)
47 Some of those standing there heard Jesus cry out. They said, "He's calling for Elijah."
48 Right away one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink.
49 The rest said, "Leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
50 After Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, he died.
51 At that moment the temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook. The rocks split.
52 Tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
