nsb@Matthew:27:47 @ After hearing it some said this man calls Elijah.

nsb@Matthew:27:48 @ Suddenly, one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

nsb@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said: »Let it be, and see whether Elijah comes to save him.«

nsb@Matthew:27:50 @ Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
