Luke 23:35-39 ▼

35 The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.”

36 Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine

37 they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.”

38 Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.”

39 Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us.”
