Mark 15:35

35 Some of the bystanders who heard him said, "Listen, he's calling for Elijah."

Mark 15:35 In-Context

33 At noon the sky became extremely dark.
34 The darkness lasted three hours. At three o'clock, Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
35 Some of the bystanders who heard him said, "Listen, he's calling for Elijah."
36 Someone ran off, soaked a sponge in sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down."
37 But Jesus, with a loud cry, gave his last breath.
