Friday's Living Water

Scripture

Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him…

And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
and they began to come up to Him and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face…

So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
John 19: 1-3, 16

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"… And

Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
Matthew 27: 46, 50


Pilato, pues, tomó entonces a Jesús y le azotó.

Y los soldados tejieron una corona de espinas, la pusieron sobre su cabeza y le vistieron con un manto de púrpura;

y acercándose a El, le decían: ¡Salve, Rey de los judíos! Y le daban bofetadas
Así que entonces le entregó a ellos para que fuera crucificado.
Juan 19: 1-3, 16

Y alrededor de la hora novena, Jesús exclamó a gran voz, diciendo: ELI, ELI, LEMA SABACTANI? Esto es: DIOS MIO, DIOS MIO, POR QUE ME HAS ABANDONADO?

Entonces Jesús, clamando otra vez a gran voz, exhaló el espíritu.
Mateo 27: 46, 50
