Mark 15:35-37

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁵ Some of the people standing there heard this. They said, “Listen! He is calling Elijah.”^[a]

³⁶ One man there ran and got a sponge. He filled the sponge with sour wine and tied it to a stick. Then he used the stick to give the sponge to Jesus to get a drink from it. The man said, “We should wait now and see if Elijah will come to take him down from the cross.”

³⁷ Then Jesus cried out loudly and died.
