46. About three o'clock, Jesus cried out in a loud voice. He said, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" This means "My God, my God, why have you deserted me?" (Psalm 22:1)
47. Some of those standing there heard Jesus cry out. They said, "He's calling for Elijah."
48. Right away one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink.
49. The rest said, "Leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
