His Life: A Complete Story in the Words of the Four Gospels
Barton, William E. (William Eleazar)
Jesus Christ -- Biography
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.
