the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me?" And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold,
he is calling Elijah." And one ran and, filling a sponge full of
vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait,
let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." And Jesus
uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple
was torn in two, from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood
facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this
man was the Son of God!"
