Matthew 27:48

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

49 But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.
