Matthew 27:45-50

Matthew 27:45-50 CEB

From noon until three in the afternoon the whole earth was dark. At about three Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “ Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ,” which means, “My God, my God, why have you left me?” After hearing him, some standing there said, “He’s calling Elijah.” One of them ran over, took a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a pole. He offered it to Jesus to drink. But the rest of them said, “Let’s see if Elijah will come and save him.” Again Jesus cried out with a loud shout. Then he died.
