027:041 In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
027:042 "He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
027:043 His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him;
for he said, `I am God's Son.'"
027:044 Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers
who were being crucified with Him.
027:045 Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was
darkness over the whole land;
027:046 but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
027:047 "The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
027:048 One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine
put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
027:049 while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming
to deliver him."
027:050 But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
