39. Those passing by were jeering at Him, shaking their heads
40. and saying, “You who are going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If you are Ben-Elohim, come down from the stake!”
41. Likewise the ruling kohanim, along with the Torah scholars and elders, were also mocking Him.
42. “He saved others,” they were saying, “but He can’t save Himself? He’s the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the stake, and we’ll believe in Him!
43. He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am Ben-Elohim.’”
