Gospel of Peter 5

The Cross

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And it was noon, and darkness came over all Judaea: and they were troubled and distressed, lest the sun had set, whilst he was yet alive: [for] it is written for them, that the sun set not on him that hath been put to death.

2And one of them said, Give him to drink gall with vinegar.

3And they mixed and gave him to drink, and fulfilled all things, and accomplished their sins against their own head.

4And many went about with lamps, supposing that it was night, and fell down.

5And the Lord cried out, saying, My power, my power, thou hast forsaken me.

6And when he had said it he was taken up.

7And in that hour the vail of the temple of Jerusalem was rent in twain.
