Matthew 27:39-44

39Those passing by were jeering at Him, shaking their heads

40and saying, “You who are going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If you are Ben-Elohim, come down from the stake!”

41Likewise the ruling kohanim, along with the Torah scholars and elders, were also mocking Him.

42“He saved others,” they were saying, “but He can’t save Himself? He’s the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the stake, and we’ll believe in Him!

43He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am Ben-Elohim.’”

44Even the outlaws who were executed with Him were ridiculing Him in the same way.
