Matthew 27:46-51

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "¹ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

48 ²Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

49 But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

50 And Jesus ³cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

51 ⁴And behold, ⁵the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ⁶the earth shook and the rocks were split.
