(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ λοιποί ἔλεγον Ἄφες ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται Ἠλίας σώσων αὐτόν)

The word But introduces what the rest of the people who were there did in contrast with how one person gave Jesus some sour wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [In contrast,] or [However,]

the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ λοιποί ἔλεγον Ἄφες ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται Ἠλίας σώσων αὐτόν)

Matthew is using the adjective rest as a noun to mean the rest of the people who were there. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the rest of the people who were watching]

˓is˒_coming
