Question 1 Report

'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' Whose accounts recorded these as Jesus' words at the ninth hour?
Answer Details
The words "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" as Jesus' words at the ninth hour are recorded in the accounts of Matthew and Mark. These words, which are often translated as "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" are part of the account of the crucifixion of Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. According to Matthew and Mark, Jesus spoke these words on the cross at the ninth hour, just before he died. The other options - John and Matthew, Luke and Mark, and Luke and John - are combinations of two of the four gospel writers in the New Testament, but they do not specifically mention the words "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" being recorded in their accounts. John, Luke, Matthew, and Mark are known as the four gospel writers, each of whom wrote a separate account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
