Matthew 27:46-49

46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^[a]lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).^[b]

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink.

49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
