Matthew 27:39-44

39Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their heads

40and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him and said,

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

43He trusts in God; let God rescue him now — if he takes pleasure in him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with him taunted him.
