Matthew 27:47

Free Bible Version

When some of those standing there heard it, they said, “He's calling for Elijah!”

See the chapter Copy

Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.

If you're prepared to believe it, he is Elijah, the one who was expected to come.

At about three o'clock Jesus shouted out loud, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

Immediately one of them ran and grabbed a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, put it on a stick, and gave it to Jesus to drink.
