Mark 15:35

And some of them that stood by

Mark 15:35 In-Context

33 And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

35 And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

36 And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.
