Matthew 27:46-47

Recently, I was thinking about the part in Matthew 27 where Jesus calls out, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" and some in the crowd think that He is calling Elijah.  In the same way that they miss the source of Jesus' words (Psalm 22:1) and don't recognize "Eli" as אֵלִי, the Hebrew word for "my God," they also don't recognize Jesus as the Word of God.
