Mark 15:34-36
Living Bible
34 Then Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”[a] (“My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”)
35 Some of the people standing there thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah. 36 So one man ran and got a sponge and filled it with sour wine and held it up to him on a stick.
“Let’s see if Elijah will come and take him down!” he said.
