Why did Jesus ask “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46) [Spirituality & Religion]

Had God forsaken him?
Did he not know why he was suffering?
Was he a devout but mundane man who despaired at his death?

More like he had to say it to fulfill scripture.

@MrSmooTh

What do you mean?

MrSmooTh · 31-35, M

@Pikachu Psalm 22:1. And there are several from the old testament written thousands of years earlier that he fulfilled.

@MrSmooTh
Oh i know he's quoting psalms. But how is it a fulfillment and to what end does he say this?

MrSmooTh · 31-35, M

@Pikachu Basically to provide context to what was written and to kind of establish a connection between what was and what is.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you be more specific?
