The Crucifixion and the Aftermath
-------
[12] Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
[13] Roaring lions that tear their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
[14] I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
[15] My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.
[16] Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[b] my hands and my feet.
[17] All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
[18] They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.

[50] And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
[51] At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split [52] and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. [53] They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
[54] When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
