Matthew 27:39-44
Holman Christian Standard Bible
39 Those who passed by were yelling insults at[a] Him, shaking their heads(A) 40 and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”(B) 41 In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders,[b] mocked Him and said, 42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel!(C) Let Him[c] come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 He has put His trust in God; let God rescue Him now—if He wants Him![d] For He said, ‘I am God’s Son.’” 44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him.(D)
