Matthew 27:43

Jesus
Faith

41 In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

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.

He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44 In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
