39. Those who passed by insulted him. They shook their heads
40. and said, “You were going to tear down God’s temple and build it again in three days. Save yourself! If you’re the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41. The chief priests together with the experts in Moses’ Teachings and the leaders made fun of him in the same way. They said,
42. “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. So he’s Israel’s king! Let him come down from the cross now, and we’ll believe him.
43. He trusted God. Let God rescue him now if he wants. After all, this man said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
