MATTHEW 27:46 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
And 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? The cry of dereliction: the opening of Psalm 22 — my God, my God, why have you forsaken me — is Jesus' cry from the cross. The loud voice communicates the intensity of the cry; the Hebrew/Aramaic words communicate its authenticity. The forsakenness is the deepest dimension of the atonement: the one who bore the sin of many experienced the separation from God that sin produces.
