37 And they aput up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 aThen two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39 And athose who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads
40 and saying, a“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! bIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the1 scribes and elders, said,
42 “He asaved others; Himself He cannot save.1 If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe2 Him.
43 aHe trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
