Mateus 27:43

43 confiou em Deus, livre-o ele agora, se lhe quer bem; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus.

Mateus 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.

Mateus 27:43 In-Context

41 De igual modo também os principais sacerdotes, com os escribas e anciãos, escarnecendo, diziam:

42 A outros salvou; a si mesmo não pode salvar. Rei de Israel é ele; desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele;

43 confiou em Deus, livre-o ele agora, se lhe quer bem; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus.

44 O mesmo lhe lançaram em rosto também os salteadores que com ele foram crucificados.

45 E, desde a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre toda a terra, até a hora nona.
