Matthew 27:39-44

39And those passing by were 1speaking abusively to Him, 2shaking their heads, 40and saying, “3You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! 4If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42“5He saved others; 6He cannot save Himself! 7He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 8He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He 9takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 10And the 11rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
