Matthew 27:39-43

39 And 1those who passed by 2derided him, 3wagging their heads
40 and saying, 4"You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! 5If you are 6the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,
42 7"He saved others; 8he cannot save himself. 9He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 10He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
