A: No; the objection is loaded. A careful comparison of Matthews account, Lukes account, and Johns account establishes the following chain of events:
(1) Jesus cries out Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani (a quotation from Psalm 22:1, a psalm which initially expresses feelings of abandonment (in verses 1-21) but also expresses reliance on Gods guidance (v. 10-11) and, in verses 22-31, downright celebration.
(2) Some bystanders misunderstand His cry as a call for Elijah. One of them fills a sponge with sour wine, puts it on a hyssop-reed, and offers it to Jesus to drink (as related in Matthew 27:47-49, Mark 15:35-36, and, more summarily, in John 19:28-29).
(3) Jesus loudly says Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit (a quotation from Psalm 31:5), as Luke 23:46 relates. Matthew and Luke, working without Lukes source-material (probably drawn from Mary or one of the Roman soldiers or both), describe this only as a loud cry.
(4) Jesus then says It is finished -- one word in Greek, Tetelestai. Only John mentions this, because only John was close enough to hear it, and to see Jesus bow His head (another detail which only John mentions).
