Matthew 27:40-55
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
40and saying, 'You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.' 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42He saved others; He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43HE HAS TRUSTED IN God; LET God RESCUE Him now, IF HE TAKES PLEASURE IN HIM; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’?' 44And the rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
45Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'ELI, ELI, LEMA SABAKTANEI?' that is, 'MY God, MY God, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
47And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, 'This man is calling for Elijah.'
48And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.
49But the rest of them said, 'Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him .'
50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.
51And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
52Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
54Now as for the centurion and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, 'Truly this was the Son of God!'
King James Version
Chapter 27
40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me
47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

Chapter 27
40and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!" 41In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him and said, 42"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God; let God rescue him now—if he takes pleasure in him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’" 44In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with him taunted him.
45From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.
46About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and offered him a drink.
49But the rest said, "Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him."
50But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
51Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked, and the rocks were split.
52The tombs were also opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53And they came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
New Living Translation
41The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders also mocked Jesus.
42He saved others,' they scoffed, 'but he can’t save himself! So he is the King of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross right now, and we will believe in him!
43He trusted God, so let God rescue him now if he wants him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’'
44Even the revolutionaries who were crucified with him ridiculed him in the same way.
45At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock.
46At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?'
47Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah.
48One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink.
49But the rest said, 'Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.'
50Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit.
51At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,
52and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead.
53They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.

If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42"He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’" 44And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
47And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
48And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.
49But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him."
50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
51And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
52The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
54When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

46About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").
48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink.
49The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him."
51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split
