Matthew 27:45-47

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus dies

⁴⁵ It was now midday. The whole country became dark for three hours. ⁴⁶ At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus shouted loudly, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’

⁴⁷ Some people who were standing there heard him. They said to each other, ‘He is shouting to Elijah.’
