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. He 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. 45From noon until three in the afternoon, darkness came over the whole land.
