Matthew 27:39-44
New King James Version
39 And (A)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, (B)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! (C)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the [a]scribes and elders, said, 42 “He (D)saved others; Himself He cannot save. [b]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe [c]Him. 43 (E)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 (F)Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

Matthew 27:39-44
New International Version
39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(A) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(B) save yourself!(C) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(D) 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!(E) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(F) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(G) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
