Mark 15:32

Let the Christ, ¹  the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him. ² 

Isa 44:6; Zep 3:15; Zec 9:9; Mt 27:44; Mr 14:61,62; Lu 23:39-43; Joh 1:49; Joh 12:13; Joh 19:12-15; Joh 20:25-29; Ro 3:3; 2Ti 2:18

¹ tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.

² sn Mark’s wording suggests that both of the criminals spoke abusively to him. If so, one of them quickly changed his attitude toward Jesus (see Luke 23:40-43).
