About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Matthew 27:26

            That famous line Jesus cried out was a quote of Psalm 22.  For anyone around who heard it, they would know that.  Hopefully they knew the entire context of Psalm 22 and how many prophetic clues were contacted in that Psalm.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so far from saving me,
    so far from my cries of anguish? (verse 1)

Jesus was abused and mocked:

But I am a worm and not a man,
    scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
All who see me mock me;
    they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
    since he delights in him.” (verses 6-8)

Jesus was dehydrated and suffered:

I am poured out like water,
    and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
    it has melted within me.
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
    and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
    you lay me in the dust of death. (verses 14-15)

Jesus was surrounded by his enemies, his clothes divided up, his hands and feet pierced by nails:

Dogs surround me,
    a pack of villains encircles me;
    they pierce my hands and my feet.
All my bones are on display;
    people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment. (verses 16-18)

            Jesus wanted to make sure they saw the prophetic significance of this moment and how God saw it coming.
