9. Matthew 27:45-48
At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. 46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”48 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. 

10. Matthew 27:49-50
