Mark 15:29-36
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
29 Those who passed by derided[a] him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,(A) 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself.(B) 32 Let the Messiah,[b] the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.(C)
The Death of Jesus
33 When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land[c] until three in the afternoon. 34 At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”[d](D) 35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah.” 36 And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”(E)

29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(A) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(B) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(C) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(D) this king of Israel,(E) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(F)
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(G) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[a](H)
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(I) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
