Context of Mark 15:27

25It was about nine o'clock in the morning when the soldiers fixed Jesus to the cross. 26They put a notice there to show the reason why they were killing him. It said, ‘The King of the Jews’. They also put two robbers on crosses near to Jesus. One robber was on Jesus' right side. The other robber was on his left side. 28[The Bible says that this would happen. It says, ‘People thought of him as someone who did not obey God's Law.’] 29The people who walked near there insulted Jesus. They laughed at him and they said, ‘Oh! You said that you would destroy the temple. And you said that in three days you would build it again.
