Mateus 27:43

43 Ele confiou em Deus. Que Deus o salve agora se dele tem compaixão, pois disse: ‘Sou o 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 Da mesma forma, os chefes dos sacerdotes, os mestres da lei e os líderes religiosos zombavam dele,

42 dizendo: “Salvou os outros, mas não é capaz de salvar a si mesmo! E é o rei de Israel! Desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele.

43 Ele confiou em Deus. Que Deus o salve agora se dele tem compaixão, pois disse: ‘Sou o Filho de Deus!’ ”

44 Igualmente o insultavam os ladrões que haviam sido crucificados com ele.

45 E houve trevas sobre toda a terra, do meio-dia às três horas da tarde.
