Matthew 27:39-49

39And thoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 1speakingG987 abusivelyG987 to Him, 2shakingG2795 their headsG2776, 40and sayingG3004, “3You who are going to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 YourselfG4572! 4IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716.” 41In the sameG3668 wayG3668 the chiefG749 priestsG749 alsoG2532, along with the scribesG1122 and eldersG4245, were mockingG1702 Him and sayingG3004, 42“5He savedG4982 othersG243; 6He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 7He is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let Him nowG3568 comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 in Him. 438He has trustedG3982 in GodG2316; let GodG2316 rescueG4506 Him nowG3568, ifG1487 He 9takesG2309 pleasureG2309 in Him; for He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.’” 4410And the 11rebelsG3027 who had been crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him in the sameG846 way.

4512NowG1161 from the 13sixthG1623 hourG5610 darknessG4655 14fellG1096 upon allG3956 the landG1093 untilG2193 the 15ninthG1729 hourG5610. 46And aboutG4012 the ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG310 outG310 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “16EliG2241, EliG2241, lemaG2982 sabaktaneiG4518?” that is, “My GodG2316, My GodG2316, whyG2444 have You forsakenG1459 Me?” 47And someG5100 of thoseG3588 who were standingG2476 thereG1563, when they heardG191 it, saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is callingG5455 for ElijahG2243.” 48And 17immediatelyG2112 oneG1520 of them ranG5143, and takingG2983 a spongeG4699, he filledG4092 it with sourG3690 wineG3690 and putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 Him aG4222 drinkG4222. 49But the restG3062 of them saidG3004, “18LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to saveG4982 Him19.”
