And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, “Art not thou the Christ?  Save thyself and us.”

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds:  but this man hath done nothing amiss.”  And he said, “Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.”

And he said unto him, “Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.”

But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, “Woman, behold thy son!”

Then saith he to the disciple, “Behold, thy mother!”

And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted.  “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.”

And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he calleth Elijah.”

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, “I thirst.”

There was set there a vessel full of vinegar:  so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.”

And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.  And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him; among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
