Євангелія від Матвія 27:46

Some of them that stood there,.... Near the cross, looking on, and mocking at him, when they heard that; the words, "Eli, Eli", spoken by Christ, said, this man calleth for Elias. These could not be the Roman soldiers that said so, who had no notion of Elias; rather the Hellenistic Jews, who not so well understanding the Hebrew language, hearing the above words, and having some notion of the prophet Elias, fancied he was calling for him; though it seems most likely to be the Jews, who either through the nearness of the sound of the words, and mistake of them, and not near enough to hear and distinguish them, really thought he called for that prophet; or rather wilfully mistook him, with an intent to banter and ridicule him.

27:46 Eli, Eli: This cry means My God, my God, but the similarity in sound accounts for the people’s confusion (27:47). • My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Jesus was experiencing God’s wrath for the sins of humanity.
