Mark 15:29

29 Καὶ οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ λέγοντες · Οὐὰ ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ οἰκοδομῶν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις,

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?

Mark 15:29 In-Context

27 καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ σταυροῦσιν δύο λῃστάς, ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ.

29 Καὶ οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ λέγοντες · Οὐὰ ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ οἰκοδομῶν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις,

30 σῶσον σεαυτὸν καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ.

31 ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐμπαίζοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους μετὰ τῶν γραμματέων ἔλεγον · Ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται σῶσαι ·
