Matthew 27:45-50

⁴⁵From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁴⁷When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

⁴⁹But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

⁵⁰When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.
