This is VLX number 164. The death of Jesus. We are in St. Matthew chapter 27, verses 45 to 50.

VLX stands for Video Lexia devena, the Patristic Bible Study, and Ignatian prayer series online.

God grant you his peace in nominate, Pachis Sifidi, it's bidi, Tusi,

amen. God, our Lord, we ask the grace that all of our intentions, actions, and operations

be directed purely to the service and praise of your divine majesty.

Anomni Pachi, Sifidi, it's bidi, Santee, amen.

Now, from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land until the

ninth hour. In about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying,

Elie, Elie, Lemasabakhtani, that is, my God, my God. Why have you forsaken me? And some of the bystanders hearing it said,

This man is calling Elijah. And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour

wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. But the other said, wait, let us see whether Elijah will

come to save him. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

Thus are the words of the Holy Gospel.

I have a correction from pretty much the beginning of VLX.

It is this.

The Gospel of St. Matthew was actually written in Hebrew, not in Greek, as I had said earlier.

I don't think that negates our whole VLX series because it was translated from the Hebrew to the Greek probably quite quickly. It's probably the first language it was translated to. So we are

at the coolest and clearest water next to the source unless you speak Hebrew. And I've never

seen the gospel of Matthew in Hebrew. So we do look at the Greek, and I do believe it was translated from

the Hebrew to the Greek quite quickly, but it was apparently written in Hebrew, something I just

learned from an exorcist friend about a month ago. Another thing I want to mention on languages

here is that the Council of Trent does hold that the Latin Vulgate is the inspired the gold standard for the Roman Catholic Church.
