15:34 Eloi, Eloi . . . why have you abandoned me: Jesus’ loud cry is reported in its original Aramaic and then translated for Greek readers. • “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Jesus quotes Ps 22:1. This saying is best interpreted in light of Mark 14:27; Ps 22; Isa 53:10; 2 Cor 5:21; and Gal 3:13. The divine purpose in Jesus’ becoming a ransom for many (Mark 10:45) was now being realized.
