Matthew 27:39-43 ▼

39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

40 and saying, |You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, then come down from the cross.|

41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,

42 |He saved others, but he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'|
