¹¹Yesu alisimamishwa mbele ya mkuu wa mkoa. Basi, mkuu wa mkoa akamwuliza, "Je, wewe ndiwe Mfalme wa Wayahudi?" Yesu akamwambia, "Wewe umesema."

⁴⁶Mnamo saa tisa Yesu akalia kwa sauti kubwa, "Eli, Eli, lema sabakthani?" Maana yake, "Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?"

⁵⁴Basi, jemadari na wale waliokuwa wakimlinda Yesu walipoona tetemeko la ardhi na yale mambo yaliyotukia, wakaogopa sana, wakasema, "Hakika mtu huyu alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu."
