³⁵ And ^(A)the people stood by, watching, ^(B)but ^(C)the rulers ^(D)scoffed at him, saying, ^(E)“He saved others; ^(F)let him save himself, ^(G)if he is ^(H)the Christ of God, ^(I)his Chosen One!”

The Lord's Chosen Servant

⁴ As you come to him, a living stone ^(A)rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,

The Law and the Kingdom of God

^14 (A)The Pharisees, who were ^(B)lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ^(C)ridiculed him.

^67 (A)“If you are ^(B)the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, ⁶⁸ and if I ask you, you will not answer. ⁶⁹ But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated ^(C)at the right hand of the power of God.” ⁷⁰ So they all said, “Are you ^(D)the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, ^(E)“You say that I am.”

²⁹ And ^(A)those who passed by derided him, ^(B)wagging their heads and saying, ^(C)“Aha! ^(D)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, ^(E)“He saved others; ^(F)he cannot save himself. ³² Let ^(G)the Christ, ^(H)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may ^(I)see and believe.” ^(J)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

³⁸ Then two ^(A)robbers were crucified with him, ^(B)one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And ^(C)those who passed by ^(D)derided him, ^(E)wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ^(F)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^(G)If you are ^(H)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ^42 (I)“He saved others; ^(J)he cannot save himself. ^(K)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ^43 (L)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
