Context of Mark 15:37

35Some people who were standing near there heard him. They said to each other, ‘Look! He is shouting to Elijah.’ 36One man ran to get a piece of cloth. He poured cheap wine on it, and he put it on the end of a stick. Then he lifted it up to Jesus so that he could drink the wine from it. The man said, ‘Wait! Now we will see if Elijah comes to take him down from the cross.’ Then Jesus shouted loudly, and after that he died. 38And the curtain inside the temple completely tore into two parts from the top down to the bottom. 39The captain of the soldiers was standing there in front of Jesus. He saw how Jesus died. ‘It must be true!’ he said. ‘This man really was the Son of God.’

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-41Verses 33-41 There was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until three in the afternoon.
