Vocative address in a cry to God · dominant
In Mark 15:34, the noun appears twice in the vocative singular masculine within Jesus’ loud cry. The APB renders the quoted clause “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani,” and translates the larger cry as “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Mark 15:34, the APB preserves “Eloi, Eloi” in the cry and then supplies an English translation for the full quoted clause.
