My God My God why hast thou forsaken me (Eli Eli lama sabactani), by James Tissot (Image via Wikipedia)
Matthew 27:45-46,50; Luke 23:44,46 [Latin]
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 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?
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

and about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice:
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
