40 Y diciendo: Tú, el que derribas el templo, y en tres días lo reedificas, sálvate á ti mismo: si eres Hijo de Dios, desciende de la cruz.

41 De esta manera también los príncipes de los sacerdotes, escarneciendo con los escribas y los Fariseos y los ancianos, decían:

42 A otros salvó, á sí mismo no puede salvar: si es el Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz, y creeremos en él.

43 Confió en Dios: líbrele ahora si le quiere: porque ha dicho: Soy Hijo de Dios.

44 Lo mismo también le zaherían los ladrones que estaban crucificados con él.
