Matthew 27:47-49

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁷ Some of the people standing there heard this. They said, “He is calling Elijah.”^[a]

⁴⁸ Quickly, one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled the sponge with sour wine and tied the sponge to a stick. Then he used the stick to give the sponge to Jesus to get a drink from it. ⁴⁹ But the others said, “Don’t bother him. We want to see if Elijah will come to save him.”
