Mark 15:25-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

26. The notice of the formal charge against him was written, "The king of the Jews."

27. They crucified two outlaws with him, one on his right and one on his left.

29. People walking by insulted him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha! So you were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, were you?

30. Save yourself and come down from that cross!"

31. In the same way, the chief priests were making fun of him among themselves, together with the legal experts. "He saved others," they said, "but he can’t save himself.

32. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross. Then we’ll see and believe." Even those who had been crucified with Jesus insulted him.
