The Death of Jesus (A)

45 From noon until three o’clock it was dark over all the land. 46 About three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “My God, My God, why have You left Me alone?” 47 When some of those who stood by heard that, they said, “This Man is calling for Elijah.” 48 At once one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with sour wine. He put it on a stick and gave it to Him to drink. 49 The others said, “Let Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come and save Him.” 50 Then Jesus gave another loud cry and gave up His spirit and died.

The Jews went to Pilate and asked to have the legs of the men broken. They wanted their bodies taken away so they would not be hanging on the crosses on the Day of Rest. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been nailed to crosses beside Jesus. 33 They came to Jesus. They saw He was already dead so they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pushed a spear into His side. Blood and water ran out.

35 The one who saw it is writing this and what he says is true.
