Matthew 27:45-47

New Century Version

Jesus Dies

⁴⁵ At noon the whole country became dark, and the darkness lasted for three hours. ⁴⁶ About three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” This means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

⁴⁷ Some of the people standing there who heard this said, “He is calling Elijah.”
