## Matthew 27:45-46 in Context (Verses 42–49 KJV)
 
 [42 ](/kjv/matthew/27/42) He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/matthew/27/43) He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/matthew/27/44) The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/matthew/27/45) Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/matthew/27/46) 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?
 
 [47 ](/kjv/matthew/27/47) Some of them that stood there, when they heard *that*, said, This *man* calleth for Elias.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/matthew/27/48) And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled *it* with vinegar, and put *it* on a reed, and gave him to drink.
 
 [49 ](/kjv/matthew/27/49) The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
