15:33 從午正到申初，遍地都黑暗了。
15:34 申初的時候，耶穌大聲喊著說：「以羅伊！以羅伊！拉馬撒巴各大尼？」（翻出來就是：我的上帝！我的上帝！為甚麼離棄我？）
15:35 旁邊站著的人，有的聽見就說：「看哪，他叫以利亞呢！」
15:36 有一個人跑去，把海絨蘸滿了醋，綁在葦子上，送給他喝，說：「且等著，看以利亞來不來把他取下。」
15:37 耶穌大聲喊叫，氣就斷了。
15:38 殿裡的幔子從上到下裂為兩半。
15:39 對面站著的百夫長看見耶穌這樣喊叫（有古卷沒有喊叫二字）斷氣，就說：「這人真是上帝的兒子！」
15:40 還有些婦女遠遠地觀看；內中有抹大拉的馬利亞，又有小雅各和約西的母親馬利亞，並有撒羅米，
15:41 就是耶穌在加利利的時候，跟隨他、服事他的那些人，還有同耶穌上耶路撒冷的好些婦女在那裡觀看。
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b]
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

主耶穌是確確實實的死在十字架上，不是只有昏迷而已！祂承受了死亡，感受了與上帝分離並受上帝刑罰之狀態，所以祂喊叫：「以羅伊！以羅伊！拉馬撒巴各大尼？」（翻出來就是：我的上帝！我的上帝！為甚麼離棄我？）
主耶穌不僅經歷肉體的死亡，也面對到靈魂的死，是確確實實、完完全全的死！因為祂要救贖我們，為要滿足上帝的需要，寧可犧牲自己！當然這不只是主耶穌單方面的付出，更是上帝主動愛世人，連自己的寶貴獨生子的代價都付上了！這是何等的愛！
感謝主，讓這樣的愛臨到我們這些卑微的人，成就最偉大與傑出的事情，唯有祂配稱為上帝，配得一切榮耀與頌讚！
