I believe it is a quote:
Ps 22:1 «For the Chief Musician; set to Aijeleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David.» My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
I believe He was telling the Pharisees that they were fulfilling prophecy and the rest of the Psalm makes that clear.
I believe not.
I believe it was not His perception because He knew exactly what He was doing.
John 3: 4 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;
15 that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.
So what if it's a quote of Psalm 22. The question still stands. In fact, Jesus gave it more impact.
