Mark 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:34

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice
(See Gill on Matthew 27:46);

saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
in Matthew it is, "Eli, Eli", Both "Eli" and "Eloi", are Hebrew words, and signify the same; and are both used in ( Psalms 22:1 Psalms 22:2 ) , from whence the whole is taken:

which is, being interpreted, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me? (See Gill on Matthew 27:46).

Mark 15:34 In-Context

32 Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now so that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with him were insulting him.

33 At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

34 At three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

35 When some of the people standing there heard him say that, they said, "Listen! He's calling Elijah."

36 Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink. The man said, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down."
