Mark 15:24-32

²⁴ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

²⁵ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

²⁶ And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷ With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.

²⁸ So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

²⁹ And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

³⁰ save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

³¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Also found in Matthew 27:35-44, Luke 23:33-43, and John 19:18-22.

The casting of lots to divide Jesus’ clothing was prophesied in Psalm 22:18.

third hour (v.25) — 9:00 AM

The King of the Jews (v.26) — The Jews were offended by the title Pilate had written on the inscription. Perhaps it was his way of getting back at the Jewish leaders who had railroaded him into a decision he wanted to avoid.

The superscription [v.26] was the board on which was written the charge on which the one to be crucified had been condemned. It was carried before the criminal or affixed to him and later put on the cross. — Wuest, page 282.

Scripture was fulfilled (v.28) — Being crucified between two criminals fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 53:12, although Mark 15:28 doesn’t appear in most manuscripts. It may  have been a margin note that was added to the text at some point.

blasphemed Him (v.29) = lit. “kept on blaspheming Him”

The word “railed” [blasphemed] is blasphemeo “to speak reproachfully, to rail at, revile, calumniate.” The word “Aha” [v. 29] expresses admiration, real or ironical, the latter in this context. … The jest [“Save thyself and come down from the cross”] was the harder to endure since it appealed to a consciousness of power held back only by the self-restraint of a sacrificed will. … The Sanhedrist condescended to share the savage sport of the populace; members of the priestly aristocracy were seen in company with scribes and elders deriding the Sufferer, not indeed directly addressing Him,or mingling with the crowd, but remaking to one another on His inability to save Himself. … Unable to induce Pilate to remove or alter the title, they give their own complexion to it, substituting “Israel” for the Jews, and explaining “the King” by “The Christ.” If He will even now substantiate His claim of Messiahship by a miracle wrought in His own behalf, they profess themselves ready to believe. — Wuest, pages 282-283.

destroy the temple and build it in three days (v.29) — Referring to, and misquoting, Jesus’s statement about His own body, which He made the first time He cleansed the temple (John 2:29).
