Mat 27:40. Λέγοντες, κ.τ.λ., saying, etc.) Seven scoffs of His enemies may be counted.[1197]-ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις, in three days) Yea, it was already now the first of them.-σῶσον, save) They use in mockery the name of Jesus; then that of “The Son of God,” and that of King, Mat 27:42-43, and His own words, Mat 27:40.-εἰ Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, if thou art the Son of God) cf. ch. Mat 4:3.
[1197] The most heinous robber, when visited with capital punishment, is scarcely ever reviled besides; but the Son of GOD, when hanging on the cross, is most bitingly insulted by word of mouth and by writing, on the part of the rulers and the common people-the Jews, as well as also the Gentiles.-Harm., p. 568.
