Mark 15:34-36
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”, which being translated is “My God, My God, for what purpose did You forsake[a] Me?” 35 And some of the ones standing near, having heard, were saying “Look— He is calling Elijah”. 36 And someone— having run, and having filled a sponge of sour-wine[b], having put it on a stick[c]— was giving-a-drink to Him, saying “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down”.
