Introduction

Matthew 27.46: Jesus cries out in a loud voice, Eloy Eloy, llama sabaktani, which means my God my God why have you forsaken me yesterday. We talked about last words and how it is a bizarre fluke of the unfolding of history that it's Aramaic but we know what they mean. But this isn't some little bumble where Jesus is accidentally blurting out something that kind of sounds like this is word for word. He wants people to go look up the passage and think about it.
