Matthew 27:39-44

39 And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41 In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. ^[a] For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44 In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.
