Matthew 27:46-48
1599 Geneva Bible
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with loud voice, saying, (A)Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou [a]forsaken me?
47 And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth [b]Elijah.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took (B)a sponge and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
