Jan 4, 2022 · Why did Jesus say, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”. Answer. “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?” (Matthew 27:46, KJV). This cry is a fulfillment of Psalm 22:1, one of many parallels between that psalm and the ...

When Jesus cries out this phrase, it is a reference to Psalm 22. This Psalm is held to be a messianic psalm and one where the author (King David) appears to be sharing in some vision of what will happen to the Lord’s Messiah. Jesus only shares the first verse of the Psalm, but because of the scriptural literacy of Jesus’ day, most people would have...
Matthew and Mark share the same verse in the same way (almost word-for-word). Yet they are doing it with different goals. Matthew stresses throughout his writings that Jesus is the Messiah that was predicted in the Old Testament. This is highlighted by his emphasis on Jesus’ roles of teacher and king. Keeping that in mind, Matthew would have likely...
Ultimately, it comes down to an exchange or substitution. We were given the covenant ideas and language to be able to understand in some way the need for God to demand justice for the offense of human sin. We despised the goodness of God when Eve took of the forbidden fruit and because of the first offense, we have all lived under its curse. It is ...
How much does translation impact the interpretation of this verse? Has anything been lost over the generations? Let’s take a look at a few different English translations: ESV: And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Holman Christian Standa...
Jesus’ last words are not a pleasant phrase; they are full of despair. It was misunderstood by those close by when he said it and today it can be difficult to understand without placing it into its appropriate context of Psalm 22. You cannot leave it by itself. Jesus was calling us to the full Psalm just as he knew that his followers would understa...
The Bible says, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us” (2 Corinthians 5:21). And in that terrible moment Jesus fell under the judgment of God—not because of His own sins, but because of ours. That is why He cried out as He died, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34).
Feb 9, 2023 · Jesus believed that God would not forsake Him in that endeavor. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” With these words, Jesus also beckoned His followers to make the connection and recognize Psalm 22’s prophetic implications. David had seen down through history to vividly portray the Messiah’s crucifixion (see verses 7, 14–18).
Sep 6, 2024 · When Jesus quotes Psalm 22 on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34), what does this mean? Thomas McCall helpfully frames the issue surrounding this “cry of dereliction”:
Mar 1, 2016 · “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Those terrifying words occur in two Gospels — Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 — as Jesus is hanging on the cross near death. “Jesus seems to have known that the whole of Psalm 22, in some way or other, was about him.”
Aug 13, 2020 · The truth was that God had indeed forsaken him because he was paying the penalty for our sins. Jesus did not want to do this, as shown by his prayers in Gethsemane (Mt 26:36-56), but that he was willing was also evident. He did it for the “joy set before him,” (Heb 12:2).
