New Testament

Matthew 27:43-60 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

43. He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44. The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

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

46. About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

47. Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

48. Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

49. The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

50. Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

51. Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

52. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised;

53. and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

54. Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55. Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving him.

56. Among them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57. When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple came.

58. This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

59. Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60. and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
