Matthew 27:38-44
New Life Version
The Two Robbers (A)
38 They nailed two robbers to crosses beside Him. One was on His right side. The other was on His left side. 39 Those who walked by shook their heads and laughed at Him. 40 They said, “You are the One Who could destroy the house of God and build it up again in three days. Now save Yourself. If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 The head religious leaders and the teachers of the Law and the other leaders made fun of Him also. They said, 42 “He saved others but He cannot save Himself. If He is the King of the Jews, let Him come down from the cross. Then we will believe in Him. 43 He trusts God. Let God save Him now, if God cares for Him. He has said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 And the robbers who were nailed to crosses beside Him made fun of Him the same way also.

29 Those who walked by shook their heads and laughed at Jesus. They said, “You were the One Who could destroy the house of God and build it again in three days. 30 Save Yourself and come down from the cross.” 31 The head religious leaders and the teachers of the Law made fun of Him also. They said to each other, “He saved others but He cannot save Himself. 32 Let Christ, the King of the Jews, come down from the cross. We want to see it and then we will believe.” Those who were on the crosses beside Jesus spoke bad things to Him.
