"Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.  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?...And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink...Jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."   Matthew 27:45-50
