39 - And those who passed by threw up insults to him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from there!” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 “He saved others. But he can’t save himself. He’s the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we’ll believe in him. 43 He trusts in God, let God deliver him, if he wants to.. For he said, ‘I’m the Son of God.’”

     44 The robbers who were crucified with him also insulted him in the same way.

     45 Then, from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. [Not an eclipse as Passover is at the full moon of the first month.] 46 And at about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

     47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and taking a sponge, soaked it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah will come and save him.”
