Mat 27:43. Πέποιθεν, He trusted) cf. the end of the verse.-εἶπε γὰρ, κ.τ.λ., for He said, etc.) We may consider that this was either uttered by those who were passing by, or added by the Evangelist for the sake of explanation. The LXX. in Psalms 22(21):8, have ἥλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον, ῥυσάσθω Αὐτόν· σωσάτω Αὐτὸν, ὅτι θέλει Αὐτόν, He trusted in the Lord, let Him deliver Him: let Him save Him, since He delighteth in Him.
