Matthew 27:41-53 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

41. And in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

42. He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

43. He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.

44. And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;

46. but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47. And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

48. And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled it with vinegar and fixed it on a reed, gave him to drink.

49. But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

50. And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.

51. And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

52. and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,

53. and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
