Depict a biblical scene from the New Testament book of Matthew, chapter 27, verses 45-56. The scene is set from noon until three in the afternoon with the surrounding land consumed by darkness. It includes a central figure crying out in anguish and bystanders interpreting this outcry. One individual runs to fetch a sponge, filling it with vinegar and extending it on a staff. The scene further unfolds with the figure crying out again before succumbing. At that moment, symbolic environmental changes occur: a temple curtain tears completely, the earth shakes, rocks split, tombs rupture, and deceased holy individuals resurrect. They exit their tombs and enter a holy city, making appearances to several people. When a group of guards witnessing this along with a centurion realize the significance of the events, they proclaim the central figure as divine. Furthermore, show a group of variously dressed women, including two named Mary, watching these events from a distance, having journeyed from Galilee. Represent this in a digital art style, emphasizing the sombre mood and the dramatic landscape.

Matthew 27:45-56 - "From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.” And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!” Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons."
