Matthew

Matthew 27:41–46

⁴¹In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying, ⁴²“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him.^f For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

⁴⁵From the sixth hour until the ninth hour^g darkness came over all the land. ⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^h lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”ⁱ
