Tenebrae factae sunt, dum crucifixissent Jesum Judaei: et [circa]1 horam nonam exclamavit Jesus voce magna: Deus meus, ut quid me dereliquisti? Et inclinato capite, emisit spiritum. Exclamans Jesus voce magna, ait: Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum.

Les ténèbres se firent, quand ils crucifièrent Jésus de Judée. Et à la neuvième heure Jésus cria d'une voix forte : mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné ? Et la tête penchée il rendit l'âme. en expirant Jésus d'une voix forte dit : Père, dans tes mains je remets mon âme.
