Matthew 27:39-43

English Standard Version

³⁹ And ^(A)those who passed by ^(B)derided him, ^(C)wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ^(D)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^(E)If you are ^(F)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ^42 (G)“He saved others; ^(H)he cannot save himself. ^(I)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ^43 (J)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
