Matthew 27:39-44

39The people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery.

40“Look at you now!” they yelled at him. “You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!”

41The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders also mocked Jesus.

42“He saved others,” they scoffed, “but he can’t save himself! So he is the King of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross right now, and we will believe in him!

43He trusted God, so let God rescue him now if he wants him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Even the revolutionaries who were crucified with him ridiculed him in the same way.
