Likewise also the chief priests mocking
Or "laughed at one another", as the Syriac version renders it, having gained their point, and satiated their revenge on him:

Mark 15:31 In-Context

29 And those that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads and saying, Ah, thou that would destroy the temple of God and build it in three days,

30 save thyself and come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}.

31 Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let the Christ, King of Israel, descend now from the stake that we may see and believe. And those that were crucified {Gr. Stauroo – to hang on a stake} with him reviled him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
