Matteo 27:43

43 S’è confidato in Dio; lo liberi ora, s’Ei lo gradisce, poiché ha detto: Son Figliuol di Dio.

Matteo 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.

Matteo 27:43 In-Context

41 Similmente, i capi sacerdoti con gli scribi e gli anziani, beffandosi, dicevano:

42 Ha salvato altri e non può salvar se stesso! Da che è il re d’Israele, scenda ora giù di croce, e noi crederemo in lui.

43 S’è confidato in Dio; lo liberi ora, s’Ei lo gradisce, poiché ha detto: Son Figliuol di Dio.

44 E nello stesso modo lo vituperavano anche i ladroni crocifissi con lui.

45 Or dall’ora sesta si fecero tenebre per tutto il paese, fino all’ora nona.
