A Triumphant King – Day 100

₃₃At noon the whole country was covered with darkness, which lasted for three hours. ₃₄At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”

₃₅Some of the people there heard him and said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah!” ₃₆One of them ran up with a sponge, soaked it in cheap wine, and put it on the end of a stick. Then he held it up to Jesus' lips and said, “Wait! Let us see if Elijah is coming to bring him down from the cross!”

₃₇With a loud cry Jesus died.
