Mark 15:35 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:35

And some of them that stood by
The cross:

when they heard [it];
the loud voice of Jesus, and the words he uttered:

said, behold he calleth Elias;
whom they ignorantly, or wilfully took for Eloi; (See Gill on Matthew 27:47).

Mark 15:35 In-Context

33 From noon until three in the afternoon the whole earth was dark.

34 At three, Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani," which means, "My God, my God, why have you left me?"

35 After hearing him, some standing there said, "Look! He's calling Elijah!"

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, and put it on a pole. He offered it to Jesus to drink, saying, "Let's see if Elijah will come to take him down."

37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and died.
