Matthew 27:45-50

Christian Standard Bible

The Death of Jesus

⁴⁵ From noon until three in the afternoon,^[a] darkness came over the whole land.^{[b](A) 46} About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá^[c] sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”^[d](B)

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, put it on a stick, and offered him a drink.^{(C) 49} But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.^(D)
