Chapter 27 (247) GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
of those who stood there heard it and said, “This man is calling Elijah!” Immediately, one of them ran to take a sponge; he filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, “Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.” Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. Behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised and came out of the tombs after his resurrection. They entered into the holy city and appeared to many. Now, when the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus saw the earth- quake and the things that were taking place, they became extremely fearful and said, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
End to the Seventh Gospel of the Passion.
On the Holy Friday at Vespers, continue from John, pericope 61, Ch. 19, page 841.
And again read from here:
Many women who had followed Jesus from Gal- ilee to serve him were there, watching from afar. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of
the sons of Zebedee.
End to the First Hour on Great and Holy Friday.
