Mocked (enepaican). Even the soldiers yielded to the spell and acted like boys in their jeers. Aorist tense here and different verb also from that used of the rulers. They were not so bitter and persistent.
34 1Then Jesus said, “Father, aforgive them, for bthey do not know what they do.” And cthey divided His garments and cast lots.
35 And athe people stood looking on. But even the brulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him asour wine,
37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 aAnd an inscription also was1 written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 aThen one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying,1 “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
