Matthew 27:46 In-Context

44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him.
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.
46 At about three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni ?" that is, " My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? "
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling for Elijah!"
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, and offered Him a drink.
