Matthew 27:42-44
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
42 “He saved others— Himself He is not able to save! He is King of Israel— let Him come down now from the cross and we will put-faith upon Him! 43 He trusts in God— let Him deliver Him now, if He wants[a] Him. For He said that ‘I am God’s Son’”. 44 And even[b] the robbers, the ones having been crucified with Him, were reproaching Him the same.
