>Hello Bill,
Curious question. I have the Bible translated from the Peshitta by George
M. Lamsa (Aramaic) and that verse, Mark 15:34, reads: "And at the ninth
hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying Eli, Eli, lemana,
shabakthani! which means, My God, my God, for this I was spared!"
Footnote at "which means" - used by Mark to explain translation from one
Aramaic dialect to another. I've wondered why the difference between "for
this I was spared" and "why have you forsaken me?"
God bless,
