Matthieu 27:41 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:41

Likewise also the chief priests

41 De même aussi les principaux sacrificateurs, avec les scribes et les anciens, disaient en se moquant:

42 Il a sauvé les autres, et il ne peut se sauver lui-même. S'il est le roi d'Israël, qu'il descende maintenant de la croix et nous croirons en lui.

43 Il s'est confié en Dieu; que Dieu le délivre maintenant, s'il lui est agréable; car il a dit: Je suis le Fils de Dieu.
