Mark 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:29

And they that passed by
In the road, and went by the cross. The Arabic version adds, "before him", Christ, as he hung on the cross:

railed on him, wagging their heads;
gave him opprobrious language, and used indecent gestures;

and saying, ah! thou that destroyest the temple;
the Vulgate Latin version adds, "of God":

and buildest it in three days;
thou poor vain miserable creature, that boasted of thy power, where art thou now? and what dost thou think of thyself?
