Mark 15:31 In-Context

29 And those who passed by railed at Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Ah, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

30 save thyself and come down from the cross!"

31 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, said among themselves with the scribes, "He saved others; himself he cannot save!

32 Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." And those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

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