Mateo 27:43

43 EN DIOS CONFIA; QUE le LIBRE ahora SI EL LE QUIERE; porque ha dicho: "Yo soy el Hijo de Dios."

Mateo 27:43 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:43

He trusted in God
That is, he pretended to claim an interest in him, to be high in his favour and esteem, and to have great faith and confidence in him:

let him deliver him now;
directly, from the cross, and the death of it:

if he will have him;
or if he is well pleased with him as his own Son, or delights in him as such, and will show him any favour and good will; see ( Psalms 22:8 ) , where are these very words, and which are predicted should be said by these men to Christ; and are a wonderful confirmation of the truth of that Psalm and prophecy belonging to him:

for he said, I am the Son of God;
not only in his ministry, but he had said so in their grand council, before them all.

Mateo 27:43 In-Context

41 De igual manera, también los principales sacerdotes, junto con los escribas y los ancianos, burlándose de El, decían:

42 A otros salvó; a sí mismo no puede salvarse. Rey de Israel es; que baje ahora de la cruz, y creeremos en El.

43 EN DIOS CONFIA; QUE le LIBRE ahora SI EL LE QUIERE; porque ha dicho: "Yo soy el Hijo de Dios."

44 En la misma forma le injuriaban también los ladrones que habían sido crucificados con El.

45 Y desde la hora sexta hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena .
