At best there is 3 different accounts of Jesus’ last words, who was right, maybe no one?

Matt.27:46,50: "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?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."
Luke23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Check it out, it’s really that obvious!!

Well here are some explanations I've heard from biblical scholars. Note in the Matt 27 verse it is noted that Jesus cried again with a loud voice. We are not told what he cried out at that point therefore that could of been when he said the Luke 23:46 thing. There are seven final statements recorded in the Bible that Christ made during his crucifixion. Each author was writing for a different audience and included the statements that would have great relevance for their audience. Matthew wrote for the Jews and was careful to include anything that was prophesied about the Messiah in the Old Testament. Luke wrote for the Romans and other Gentiles and stressed the facts dates etc. that were relevant to the Roman and Greek mind. So Jesus' God being his father was stressed. John's writings always concentrate on Jesus' status as God made human and stresses his foreknowledge of events. He also wrote from a close human relationship with Jesus. He is the only disciple recorded as witnessing the crucifixion and the last moment before death was probably seared into his mind so it would always be included in any account of his. A last moment of human thirst probably touched him deeply. The others probably didn't include it because they weren't told about it or they thought being thirsty belittled Jesus' memory in some way. God inspired these men to write in these different ways because he knows human nature and human spirit. Each gospel continues to speak to different people on a personal level. I do not believe that because each stress different aspects that any of them are wrong or fake.

If you really believe the Bible is faked you should read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel he used to think it was fake too until he did some real research.

Yes, they are different. What we have here are three different accounts, written many, many years after the actual event, and probably not by eyewitnesses. Each writer recalls the event a little differently-- yet, all are quite plausible statements.

The Bible is not a "camcorder record" -- so it is possible that all three were said at some point before Jesus gave up the ghost.

Or, it may be, as you say, that some of these accounts are simply wrong. There are other examples of inaccuracies in the Scripture. Still, at the end of the day, what matters is that the important things, like the two great commandments--- are clear enough.

Three different people see an accident from three different angles:
#1 says I saw the red car coming over the hill and hit the blue car.
#1 was sitting on his porch at the top of the hill.

#2 says I saw the red car go down the hill and then I heard a loud crash.
#2 was walking his dog and was behind a tree as the red car drove by going down the hill.

#3 says I saw the red car hit the blue car from out of nowhere. Debris was flying everywhere and I didn't know what had happened.
#3 was sitting in a cafe on the sidewalk right next to the accident scene.

The same is with these different Biblical accounts. They were ALL written from a different perspective. It doesn't mean that they are wrong or contradictory in ANY way.

The three accounts are just that, individual accounts. They are not exactly the same because they came from different sources with different memories of the moment. Maybe, the author of Luke and John didn't hear what he said completely and the author of Matthew did. Maybe to the best of their memory, their accounts are exactly as they remember them. Maybe portions of the original texts were lost or illegible and what remained is the most complete account of each Gospel, but not the complete Gospels word for word as originally written. There are a lot of reasons for the differences besides the simple conclusion that they are simply in error.

Honestly, if the accounts matched exactly, it is much more likely that the accounts were intentionally matched and not written as seperate, but accurate accounts. The differences is what better validates the individual accounts. Besides, you are staring at the trees and missing the forest. The important thing is that Jesus sacrificed himself for our sake. Also, they may have been His last words before he expired, but they were not His last words on this world. And that is what is important.

John was an eyewitness... Matt says "when he cried out AGAIN with a loud voice" and doesnt say what he said and Luke wasnt there, He was recording what someone else saw.

You know there were hundreds of eye witnesses the 9/11 events at the World Trade center and none match exactly. Are they all liars then? Contradicting eachother? Or did they remember different things from the same event?

You need to remember the fact that the gospel accounts were all written by different people, hearing and seeing the same thing but at a different view. If we all went and saw the same movie and sat away from each other and there were a million people talking and laughing and throwing popcorn while we were watching, and then we came out of the movie and met together and all gave a summary of what we saw..... do you think we would all give the exact details in the exact same order? And if not, does that mean we didn't really see it?

Yes, you'll be able to learn the Bible such as you might every other booklet, and sure, a nice deal of it'll be unique. But, like all lengthy novel, it'll "lavatory down" in locations...and you can be tempted to bypass over the ones spots. All the ones "begats", for illustration, will make you yawn. And I've certainly not been competent to learn immediately via Numbers, Dueteronomy, and Leviticus. Boring as studying the guideline guide in your new DVD Recorder...however then, for those who bypass a web page, you will not recognize why the darn factor is misbehaving until you return and painfully learn via it. But there are LOADS of well reviews in there. And you can be rather amazed to uncover what number of "heroes of religion" are truthfully (maintain on), WOMEN! Ruth. Esther. Rahab. Tamar. And permit's no longer overlook the nice girl I am named after....Deborah. And there are tons extra! You are correct...the plot will get quite intriguing, because it leads as much as the climax...which, of path, is Jesus. But it does wander away every so often...there could also be alot of poetry, a few books that appear to be tossed in only for the well recommendation they supply, and tons of prophecy dotted right here and there for the period of the tale...however so much of that stuff could also be well studying, so long as you'll be able to hold following the plot. OH...for well degree, you MIGHT wish to take a appear on the Macabean books earlier than you move from the Old to the New Testament...in order that you can realise wherein within the tale you're, and who the main gamers are. I have no idea why the Protestant Bible leaves them out...they're intriguing. The first time I ever learn the Bible "immediately via" I used to be interested at the way it all ties in combination, regardless of the years among writers. I used to be approximately twelve then. Since then, I've performed it at least one time a yr (as a rule 2 or 3 instances)...and I'm continually discovering stuff in there I did not see earlier than. It's a intriguing Book, and continually new. OH, only for the list, I will probably be fifty eight years historical in October of this yr...

My friend I can accept your view and you have a good point. As you see it, there are just too many errors in the bible.

I can also accept the view of others who see what you say to look at and do read what you say to read and see no error. I guess their view is that each different writer did express his view of what each writer heard, saw, or was told.

Have you not looked at a picture with a friend and in that same picture each of you did notice something different? Now because you each notice something different can one assume that one or the other is wrong?

If you are married you saw in your wife or even in a girl friend something that you did desire. However in that same person another will maybe see something that to them is not pleasing thus they do not want to marry the girl or even be her friend. Why is that? Is it a question as to who is right or wrong or is it a question of something else?

Just a thought and an opinion of a "NO", Should not one take as much as possible into consideration that is related to a subject or object prior to making a decision? Is it not possible that all the reported words were said but each one who did report on it had a specific reason for reporting what he did report or record in writing?

I am not taking sides but in pure truth I do not see the error or inconsistency that you want to point out. I see only the reporting of events in different views for different reasons by differrent individuals.

Please do smile and have a great day my friend and do keep pointing out your opinions and your positions in questions like this. I do enjoy thinking about them and trying to answer them.

The Gospels of Matt. Luke and John, are all records of the fullfilment of Psalms 22, which by the way was written 2000 years before the crucificion of Christ. If you read Psalms 22, (please read it carefully), you will see that the Gospels of Matt. Luke and John bear witness to the prophectic utterances of David .

As a side note, the CHURCH teaches that there were 2 others crucified along with the Christ. The Bible teaches that there were 4.

These were three different accounts by three different apostles. Of course there is going to be a difference, but each might have remembered a different part of what he said and wrote it differently. Nevertheless what is important is not the accuracy of the bible but the message and the message stays the same. Read the Bible the whole thing not just parts so you can have a better and fuller understanding of what the TRUE message and purpose is.
