Matthew 27:39-44

39The people who walked near there insulted Jesus. They laughed at him,

40and they said, ‘You said that you could destroy the temple and then build it again in three days. If you really are the Son of God, save yourself. Come down from the cross.’

41The leaders of the priests and the teachers of God's Law and the important Jews also laughed at him.

42They said, ‘This man saved other people, did he? But he cannot save his own life! He says that he is the king of Israel. So he should come down from the cross now. Then we will believe in him.

43He says that he trusts in God. So if God wants him, God should save him now. He did say that he is the Son of God.’

44Then the two robbers who were on the crosses next to Jesus also insulted him.
