Matt.27.24
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was imminent, he took a basin of water and washed his hands in full sight of the crowd, saying, "I'm washing my hands of responsibility for this man's death. From now on, it's in your hands. You're judge and jury."

Matt.27.40
and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

"So! You can destroy the Temple and build it again in three days, can you? Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!"
Matt.27.41
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Matt.27.41
"He saved others--he can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,
Matt.27.41
The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders also mocked Jesus.

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.
Matt.27.42
He was so sure of God--well, let him rescue his "Son' now--if he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?"

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, "I am the Son of God."'
Matt.27.43
He trusted God--let God show his approval by delivering him! For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
Matt.27.44
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
