New English Translation

If he comes down[a] now from the cross, we will believe in him! 43 He trusts in God—let God, if he wants to, deliver him now[b] because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!” 44 The[c] robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.[d]

  3. Matthew 27:44 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
