Mark 15:35 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:35

And some of them that stood by
The cross:

when they heard [it];

said, behold he calleth Elias;

Mark 15:35 In-Context

33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 At the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lama shavakhtani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he calls Eliyah."

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Eliyah comes to take him down."

37 Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
