Mark 15:35-37

New International Reader's Version

³⁵ Some of those standing nearby heard Jesus cry out. They said, “Listen! He’s calling for Elijah.”

³⁶ Someone ran and filled a sponge with wine vinegar. He put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink. “Leave him alone,” he said. “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down.”

³⁷ With a loud cry, Jesus took his last breath.
