Context — The Death of Jesus

34At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

37But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last. 38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Mark 15:36 Summary

[This verse shows how the people around Jesus did not understand who He was or what He was going through, and they even mocked Him by saying 'Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down'. Jesus was feeling forsaken by God, and the people thought He was calling for Elijah to save Him. This verse helps us see how much Jesus suffered, not just physically, but also emotionally and spiritually (Matthew 27:46). We can learn from Jesus' example of how to respond to suffering and mockery with faith and trust in God.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the people think Jesus was calling Elijah?

The people thought Jesus was calling Elijah because they did not understand the Aramaic language Jesus was speaking, and 'Eloi' sounded similar to 'Elijah' (Mark 15:35).

What is the significance of the sour wine offered to Jesus?

The sour wine offered to Jesus was a drink given to those who were crucified to help numb the pain, but Jesus refused it earlier (Matthew 27:34), and now it is being offered to Him again, possibly as a way to mock Him or to see if Elijah would save Him.

Why did the person say 'Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down'?

The person said this because they believed that Elijah, a prophet who had been taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire (2 Kings 2:11), might come to rescue Jesus, and they were mocking Jesus by saying this, not truly believing that Elijah would come.

How does this verse relate to Jesus' cry of feeling forsaken by God?

This verse is a response to Jesus' cry of feeling forsaken by God (Mark 15:34), and it shows the mockery and unbelief of the people, who did not understand the spiritual significance of Jesus' cry, but instead thought He was calling for Elijah to save Him.

Reflection Questions

What can we learn from the way Jesus responded to the mockery and unbelief of the people around Him?
How does this verse challenge our understanding of the nature of Jesus' suffering on the cross?
What does this verse reveal about the character of Jesus, and how can we apply that to our own lives?
In what ways do we, like the people in this verse, sometimes misunderstand or mock the things of God, and how can we grow in our understanding and reverence for Him?

Gill's Exposition on Mark 15:36

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 15:36

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. Ver. 36.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 15:36

(21-38) See Notes on Matthew 27:32-51.

Cambridge Bible on Mark 15:36

36. full of vinegar] Burning thirst is the most painful aggravation of death by crucifixion, and it was as He uttered the words, “I thirst,” that the soldier ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, or the sour wine-and-water called posca, the ordinary drink of the Roman soldiers. and put it on a reed] i. e. on the short stem of a hyssop-plant (John 19:29). Let alone] According to St Mark, the man himself cries “Let be;” according to St Matthew, the others cry out thus to him as he offers the drink; according to St John, several filled the sponge with the sour wine. Combining the statements, together we have a natural and accurate picture of the excitement caused by the loud cry.

Whedon's Commentary on Mark 15:36

For explanation of this chapter, we refer generally to the notes on Matthew 27.
