Mark 15:30 In-Context

28

29 People walked by and insulted Jesus and shook their heads, saying, "You said you could destroy the Temple and build it again in three days.

30 So save yourself! Come down from that cross!"

31 The leading priests and the teachers of the law were also making fun of Jesus. They said to each other, "He saved other people, but he can't save himself.

32 If he is really the Christ, the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. When we see this, we will believe in him." The robbers who were being crucified beside Jesus also insulted him.
