Commentators emphasize that this cry reflects Jesus' profound isolation. His disciples had fled, his friends were powerless, and his enemies surrounded him. Scholars like Spurgeon and Gill highlight that the phrase "none to help" was a literal and bitter reality, a key component of his suffering. This verse captures the moment when all human support vanished, leaving only the plea for God's presence.
