45 Now from noon until three, darkness came over all the land. 46 At about three o'clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice, |Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?| that is, |My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?| 47 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, |This man is calling for Elijah.| 48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the rest said, |Leave him alone! Let's see if Elijah will come to save him.| 50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit. Matthew 27:45-50, New English Translation.
