Matthew 27:46-48

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁶ At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus shouted loudly, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’

⁴⁷ Some people who were standing there heard him. They said to each other, ‘He is shouting to Elijah.’

⁴⁸ One of these people ran quickly and he brought a piece of cloth. He poured cheap wine on it, and he put it on the end of a stick. He lifted it up to Jesus so that he could drink the wine from it.
