Matthew 27:45-50

45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

47And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

48And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.

49But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him."

50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
