27:22 Pilate unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

27:40 And saying, Thou that the temple, and it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
27:41 also the chief priests mocking him, with the and elders, said,
27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, .

27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
27:48 And one of them ran, and took a , and filled it with , and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
