42. “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him 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! For He said, ‘I am God’s Son.’ ”
44. In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him.
45. From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.

48. Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, and offered Him a drink.
