Darkness Covers Judea Midday

Open in the reader →

1(15) It was midday, and darkness covered all Judea. They were troubled and distressed that the sun might set while he was still alive. It is written to them, “The sun must not set on someone who has been killed.” (16) One of them said, “Give him bile mixed with sour wine to drink.” They mixed it and gave it to him to drink. (17) They fulfilled all things and piled up sins upon their own heads. (18) Many people went around with lanterns, thinking it was night, and some fell down.

2(19) The Lord cried out, saying, “My Power, the Power, you have left me!” When he said this, it was taken up. (20) At that very hour, the veil of the temple in Jerusalem was torn in two.
