They did not believe in him, even though he would perform an even greater miracle by rising from the dead.

‏ Mark 15:31-32

v. 31–32: Even the chief priests and religious leaders mocked Jesus. They said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe(Mark 15:31-32 ^a). They did not believe in him, even though he would perform an even greater miracle by rising from the dead. These leaders should have shown kindness, but instead, they made his suffering worse (Psalm 69:26; Hebrews 5:1-2 ^b).

v. 32: One of the criminals who was crucified with Jesus also insulted him. This shows how hard people’s hearts can become, even when they are facing death themselves (Luke 23:39 ^c).
