Mark 15:32

Mark 15:32 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:32

Let Christ the king of Israel
Who sets up for the Messiah, and whose followers call him the king of Israel, whom the nation expected: and if he is so, let him

descend now from the cross, that we may see;
see him come down, and be eyewitnesses of his power:

and believe;
that he is the Messiah that was prophesied of, and has been waiting for:

and they that were crucified with him reviled him;
that is, the thieves, at least one of them; (See Gill on Matthew 27:44).

Mark 15:32 In-Context

30 come adown from the cross, and make thyself safe.
31 Also the high priests scorned him each to other with the scribes, and said, He hath made other men safe, he may not save himself. [+In like manner and the highest priests scorning him, each to other, with the scribes, said, Others he made safe, himself he may not make safe.]
32 Christ, [the] king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we see, and believe. And they that were crucified with him, despised him [And they that were crucified with him, put wrong, or false reproof, to him].
33 And when the sixth hour was come, darknesses were made on [upon] all the earth till into the ninth hour [+till unto the ninth hour, that is, noon].
34 And in the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, that is to say [the which is interpreted], My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
