13 No one has greater love than this–a man laying down his life for his friends.
51 Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, »Assuredly he was God's Son.«
2 and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
33 At noon there came a darkness over the whole land, lasting till three o'clock in the afternoon.
34 But at three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, »Elohi, Elohi, lama sabachthani?« which means, »My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?«
9 because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
11 »I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.«
26 For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death–until He returns.
16 We know what love is–through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said–that the Scripture might be fulfilled, »I am thirsty.«
29 There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, »It is finished.« And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
8 And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross.
16 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.
10 For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.
3 And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
27 And since it is reserved for all mankind once to die, and afterwards to be judged;
28 so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, to make their salvation complete.
22 »Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him–«
23 delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge–you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
24 But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.
23 So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts–one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
24 So they said to one another, »Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, »They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing.« That was just what the soldiers did.
25 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, »Behold, your son!«
27 Then He said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.
33 When they reached the place called The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.
34 Jesus prayed, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.« And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
35 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. »This fellow,« they said, »saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One.«
36 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
37 »Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!«
38 There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, »Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us.«
40 But the other, answering, reproved him. »Do you also not fear God,« he said, »when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss.«
42 And he said, »Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom.«
43 »I tell you in solemn truth,« replied Jesus, »that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise.«
