VERSE (40) -
Ge 37:19,20 Re 11:10

SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:40

y diciendo: T, el que derribas el Templo, y en tres días lo reedificas, slvate a ti mismo. Si eres Hijo de Dios, desciende del madero.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:40

Verse 40. Thou that destroyest] Who didst pretend that thou couldst have
destroyed the temple, and built it up again in three days. This malicious torturing of our Lord's words has been noticed before. Cruelty is obliged to take refuge in lies, in order to vindicate its infamous proceedings.

If thou be the Son of God] Or rather, uiov tou qeou A son of God, i.e. a peculiar favourite of the Most-High; not o uiov tou qeou, THE Son of God. "It is not to be conceived," says a learned man, "that every passenger who was going to the city had a competent knowledge of Christ's supernatural conception by the Holy Spirit, or an adequate comprehension of his character as the Messiah, and (kat exochn) THE SON OF GOD.

There is not a single passage where Jesus is designed to be pointed out as the MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD, where the article is omitted: nor, on the other hand, is this designation ever specified without the article, thus, 'o uiov tou qeou. See Matthew xvi. 16; xxvi. 63; xxviii. 19."


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 40. And saying, thou that destroyest the temple , etc.] The Vulgate Latin, and Munsters Hebrew Gospel, read, the temple of God; and add ah! here, as in ( Mark 15:29), and so Beza says it is read in a certain copy. They refer to the charge of the false witnesses against him, who misrepresenting his words in ( John 2:19), declared that he gave out that he was able to destroy the temple of Jerusalem, and rebuild it in three days time; wherefore it is added, and buildest it in three days, save thyself . They reproach him with it, and suggest, that these were vain and empty boasts of his; for if he was able to do any thing of that kind, he need not hang upon the tree, but could easily save himself: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross . The Jews themselves say that the following words were said to Jesus on the cross, if thou be the Son of God, why dost thou not deliver thyself out of our hands?

As Satan before them, they put an if upon the sonship of Christ: and seeing his followers believed in him as the Son of God, and he had owned himself to be so before the sanhedrim, they require a sign of it by his power, and to do that which they believed no mere man in his situation could do; which shows, that they had no other notion of the Son of God, but that he was a divine person: but his sonship was not to be declared by his coming down from the cross, which he could have easily effected, but by a much greater instance of power, even by his resurrection from the dead; and no other but that sign was to be given to that wicked and perverse generation.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 35-44 - It was usual to put shame upon malefactors, by a writing to notify the crime for which they suffered. So they set up one over Christ's head This they designed for his reproach, but God so overruled it, that eve his accusation was to his honour. There were crucified with him at the same time, two robbers. He was, at his death, numbered among the transgressors, that we, at our death, might be numbered among the saints. The taunts and jeers he received are here recorded. The enemie of Christ labour to make others believe that of religion and of the people of God, which they themselves know to be false. The chie priests and scribes, and the elders, upbraid Jesus with being the Kin of Israel. Many people could like the King of Israel well enough, if he would but come down from the cross; if they could but have his kingdo without the tribulation through which they must enter into it. But if no cross, then no Christ, no crown. Those that would reign with him must be willing to suffer with him. Thus our Lord Jesus, havin undertaken to satisfy the justice of God, did it, by submitting to the punishment of the worst of men. And in every minute particular recorde about the sufferings of Christ, we find some prediction in the Prophet or the Psalms fulfilled.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

27:40 {If thou art the Son of
God} (ei huios ei tou qeou). More exactly, "If thou art a son of God," the very language of the devil to Jesus (#Mt 4:3) in the early temptations, now hurled at Jesus under the devil's prompting as he hung upon the Cross. There is allusion, of course, to the claim of Jesus under oath before the Sanhedrin "the Son of God" (ho huios tou qeou) and a repetition of the misrepresentation of his words about the temple of his body. It is a pitiful picture of human depravity and failure in the presence of Christ dying for sinners.
