41. In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:
42. He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43. He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.
44. And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.
45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
