The Transfer. Matthew 27:46-47, Luke

Luke 23:44-47 By this time it was about noon, and darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. 45 The light from the sun was gone. And suddenly, the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn down the middle. 46 Then Jesus shouted, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!”(And with those words he breathed his last). 47 When the Roman officer overseeing the execution saw what had happened, he worshiped God and said, “Surely this man was innocent.

Matthew 27:46: About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
