"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the 'King of Israel'! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said 'I am God's Son.'"

One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us," he said.
