Answered in 2 sources

The Bible records Jesus' cry of forsakenness in Matthew 27:46, highlighting His deep anguish as He bore the penalty for our sins.

In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' This moment signifies the depth of His suffering as He bore the weight of humanity's sin. This forsakenness by God was not just a moment of despair but the culmination of the divine judgment against sin. Christ's cry reveals the intense spiritual agony He experienced, a necessary part of His role as the sinner's surety. His abandonment reflects the reality that sin separates us from God, which He endured in our place.
