Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
Matthew 27:45
What it depicts
Matthew 27:45-58Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 73D6 glosses this subject as “the crucifixion of Christ: Christ's death on the cross; Golgotha (Matthew 27:45-58; Mark 15:33-45; Luke 23:44-52; John 19:25-38)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Matthew 27:45-58. Iconclass states 4 references for this subject; the first one this corpus holds is used.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.
48And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.
50And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.
52And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,
53And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.
55And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.
58He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.
