And
at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi,
lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?”).
When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and
offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah
comes to take him down,” he said.
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when
the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he
said, “SURELY, THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD!”
Mark 15:34-39
