Did Jesus say "Eli lama sabachthani"?

Question

And does it mean, roughly tranlsated: "Why you dirty double-crosser"?

Is this cause he expected to be saved, and somebody dropped the ball? So far I've heard only three explanations on this.

Replies from Biblican scholars appreciated.

Answer 1

He said: "Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He said this while hanging on the cross.

If Jesus was really God, he would have no need to ask, 'cause he'd know the mind of God, 'cause he would have God. Thus, Jesus was not God, but a Messenger of God. Jesus was a man, that is why he to ask why God had forsaken him. (God didn't forsake him, it was man who decided to slay him, not God.)

EDIT: Troll, your question made me giggle. Dirty double crosser, that's funny.

However, lade_e_kunnee, your answer had me ROLLIN'!!! Omg, and I'm at work, and it's so dang funneee!!! THANK YOU!!!

Answer 2

Jesus said what the Bible says He said! And no I don't believe He was calling His Father "a double crosser" - I do believe that this was the point of the greatest weight of the worlds sin upon Him and His Father turned His back because He could not look upon Sin. It was a form of spiritual, emotional and mental "breakdown" that was the result of the Sin of the whole world being upon Him. That was part of the price that had to be paid.

Answer 3

Jesus, when He walked this earth, was both Fully God and fully man.... Jesus the man did ask to be relieved from that duty...but only if it were God's Will.... when the time came He did go willingly to the Sacrifice... All of the sins of mankind, past, present, and future, literaly entered the body of Jesus on the Cross..... God, who had indwelt Jesus from conception, will not allow sin in His presence... so he left the body... I can not emagin the loss experienced by Jesus at that instant... with the pain he had endured before, and was induring on The Cross, and the torment of carrying all of the sins of mankind.... it was horrific for him to say the least.... that is when he cried out asking God why He had forsaken him... Jesus was suffering beyond what any other mortal could endure...not to change the subject...but, have you ever been with a woman in labor... they often say things you would not believe they could ever... and pain has always been used to coerce people into doing things they would not other wise...... so, that Jesus could endure what he had to, with only one mortal reverting, says a lot about his caracter and strength as a man... Jesus always knew what his fate on this earth was to be...

Answer 4

It is the open verse of Psalms 22, quoted in the original Hebrew. Means "My God, why have you forsaken me". Was said at the moment when Jesus took on to himself in the sin of the entire human race, and was separated by it from the presence of God.

If you go on to read the entire 22 Psalm, you will find most of the major events of the crucifixion prophecied about 1000 years before they occurred.

Answer 5

It means "My God, why have You forsaken me?"
It wasn't because He expected to be saved, it was because Jesus was really experiencing the pain of death and separation from God the father. Just because Jesus knew He would be resurrected doesn't mean that the fact of death was any less horrible. Jesus had never died before. And the fact is that God turned His back on His son on the cross (aka "forsaking"). It's a difficult passage of scripture to understand, even for seminary students (like me).

Answer 6

no.
"Eli lama sabachthani" was not found in the new testament.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Answer 7

If this refers to his exclamation to God on the cross it is better translated "Why have you forsaken me?" This sentiment is understood when you consider that God really did seperate Himself from Jesus at this time. Jesus died for the sins of mankind and God seperates Himself from sin.

Answer 8

My God My God why have you forsaken me:
which is the first line in Psalm 22 where it describes how the Messiah will be killed -

Answer 10

No. I know it's something like "My God, My God why have you abandoned me? I don't know if those are the same exact words in english since I read the bible in spanish.
