New Testament

Matthew 27:46-52 Common English Bible (CEB)

46. At about three Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani," which means, "My God, my God, why have you left me?"

47. After hearing him, some standing there said, "He’s calling Elijah."

48. One of them ran over, took a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a pole. He offered it to Jesus to drink.

49. But the rest of them said, "Let’s see if Elijah will come and save him."

50. Again Jesus cried out with a loud shout. Then he died.

51. Look, the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split,

52. and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised.
