39

42
`Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;
43
he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'
44

46
and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
