Psalm 71:11

11 They say, “God has abandoned him.
Pursue, and seize him!
No one will come to the rescue!”
Wisdom 2:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 For if the righteous one is the son of God, God will help him
and deliver him from the hand of his foes.(A)
19 With violence and torture let us put him to the test
that we may have proof of his gentleness
and try his patience.
20 Let us condemn him to a shameful death;
for according to his own words, God will take care of him.”(B)
Matthew 27:43
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
43 [a](A)He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he wants him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

- 27:43 Peculiar to Matthew. He trusted in God…wants him: cf. Ps 22:9. He said…of God: probably an allusion to Wis 2:12–20 where the theme of the suffering Just One appears.
