Akhi Paul,
Thanks for the explanation. I already have learned here that the Peshitta Psalms read the same.
The other explanations, for how it -could have- been translated really look far fetched to me.
Some options I have read
1 Yeshu citates Psalms 22: it ends in a victorial climax
2 Yeshu simply feels abandoned, whynot, he was human, was he not?
3 Yeshu was prepared to take up much more torture, and he was angry that he died so quickly, therefore, he said: "God, why have you spared me?"
4 Yeshu simply shouted: "For this I was kept!"
5 ??
All options above, have some problems, but option 1 is something he already did during his live on earth. Simply quoting scripture to fullfil it.
2 would he contradict his own words, that the Father never would forsake him? This would make him a sinner, since he never lied, even under pressure.
3 There is a -lot- against this argument. First of all, he prayed in the garden, while sweating blood, and asked if the cup of his death would pass (so, was he really as if he liked the pain to endure more???). Second, he was human and the pain must have been enormous. Fouth, there IS a reason he died so quickly. He took up ALL our sins (Isayah 54:3,4) so he literally was struck with sickness of all kinds of sickness and pains humans had to bear including his torture by the Romans.
4 This was not the single reason why Jesus came to earth, just to be kept, to die for us. So, as a last line in his earthly life, it makes no sense
Just my 2 cents to chew on... <!-- s
