And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "^(C1)ELI, ELI, LEMA SABAKTANEI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling for Elijah."

But the rest of them said, "^(F1)Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him^(F2)."

And Jesus ^(C1)cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.

^(C1)And behold, ^(C2)the ^(F1)veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ^(C3)the earth shook and the rocks were split.

Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the ^(F1)saints who had ^(C1)fallen asleep were raised;

and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered ^(C1)the holy city and appeared to many.

^(C1)And many women were there watching from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ^(C2)caring for Him.
