33At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock.
34Then at three o’clock Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
35Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah.
36One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. “Wait!” he said. “Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down!”
37Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last.
Mark 15:33-37 (NLT)
