That's one quote of jesus on the cross before death. Jesus, in the canonical gospels, is also quoted as saying "My God, why hath thou forsaken me!"

Quite different images of his attitude. I forget which is from where, but they're from different gospels of different people with different ideas about the crucifixtion. Both in the bible. But yeah.. What you're putting forward is the generally accepted view that the various canonical gospels and the tradition of the church's teachings and dogma illustrate.

I'm offering a different interpretation which parallels the life of the buddha from 500 years earlier (a theme which would be available in the region at the time of year 0). It also parallels other available non-canonical texts (gnostic ideas) and happens to answer the question of how the crucifixtion was necessary for fulfillment of the prophecies.
