And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
John 19:30
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished", and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Well, would you look at that! From Clueless Jesus to Jesus On A Mission! Who would have thought that time made stories more fanstastic...
What does that prove?
*sigh* that the first Gospel (Mark) portrays Jesus as desperate and confused as to why God abandoned him. Then we get the last Gospel (John) portraying him as this big man who has it all under control and knows exactly why this is all happening to him. Classic example of a story being embellished to sound better than what it is.
