Notes

Mark 15:29–32

Jesus was being mocked and abused by those who passed by, the religious leaders, and those who were crucified with Jesus.
those who passed by heaped abuse (literally they blasphemed): They shook their heads to show contempt (see Lamentations 2:15). They also mocked his claim that he would destroy the temple (see Mark 14:58).

Mark 15:16–41

The crucifixion story is one of the most historically reliable events from ancient history. Why would the early church invent a story where its central figure died as a criminal? This story was offensive to Jews and seemed ridiculous to non-Jews (1 Corinthians 1:23).
