Contextual Overview

³³It was now the midday hour, and when the clock had struck high noon, darkness descended over the entire country for three hours. ³⁴About three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus yelled out, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forgotten about me?" ³⁵When some people standing around heard him, they said, "Listen! Jesus is calling out for Elijah!" ³⁶Then someone lifted up a sponge soaked with vinegar and gave it to Jesus. Others said, "Leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah does somehow come riding up to save him." ³⁷Jesus looked up and cried out with a loud voice and let out his last breath. ³⁸In the main church, there was a thick curtain that separated God's holy place from the rest of the building. When Jesus died, this curtain was torn in two from the top to the bottom. No longer would God be separated from his people. ³⁹One of the soldiers who stood at the foot of the cross saw how Jesus died and said, "I think we've screwed up boys. This really was God's Son!" ⁴⁰Also seeing his death were some women watching from a distance. These women included Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome. ⁴¹In Galilee, these women had traveled with Jesus and taken care of him. There were other women there also who had gone to Jerusalem with him.
