33 And when the sixth hour was come, darknesses were made on [upon] all the earth till into the ninth hour [+till unto the ninth hour, that is, noon].

34 And in the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, that is to say [the which is interpreted], My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of the men that stood about heard, and said, Lo! he calleth Elias.
