Mark 15:34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Mark 15:34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

It is, "My El, my strong God, my mighty One, why hast thou forsaken me?" - the bitterest words that were ever uttered by mortal lips, and expressing the quintessence of agony. Alas! that my Saviour should ever have had to say as much as this when he hung upon the cross, suffering and dying for me.
