“… From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land
\nuntil three in the afternoon.
\nAnd about three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
\n‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’
\nwhich means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ …
\n* * * Jesus cried out again in a loud voice,
\nand gave up His Spirit.<\/p>\n
[Here all kneel and pause for a short time.]<\/p>\n
And behold, the veil of the sanctuary
\nwas torn in two from top to bottom.
\nThe earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened,
\nand the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
\nAnd coming forth from their tombs after His Resurrection,
\nthey entered the holy city and appeared to many.
\nThe centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus
\nfeared greatly when they saw the earthquake
\nand all that was happening, and they said,
\n‘Truly, this was the Son of God!’
\nThere were many women there, looking on from a distance,
\nwho had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.
\nAmong them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph,
\nand the mother of the sons of Zebedee. …”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
