(H)You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, (I)“He saved others; (J)he cannot save himself. 32 Let (K)the Christ, (L)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may (M)see and believe.” (N)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
