Matthew 27:46-50 Good News Bible (GNB)

46. At about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”

47. Some of the people standing there heard him and said, “He is calling for Elijah!”

48. One of them ran up at once, took a sponge, soaked it in cheap wine, put it on the end of a stick, and tried to make him drink it.

49. But the others said, “Wait, let us see if Elijah is coming to save him!”

50. Jesus again gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
