Matthew 27:45-50

45Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47When some of the bystanders there heard it, they began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

48Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, soaked it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

49But the rest said, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him [from death].”

50And Jesus cried out again with a loud [agonized] voice, and gave up His spirit [voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father’s plan].
