馬可福音第十五章第29—32節,耶穌當時正釘在十字架上,從那裏經過的人辱罵譏誚耶穌說他救了別人卻不能救自己,說現在若耶穌可以從十字架上下來叫他們看見,他們就信耶穌。這些戲弄耶穌的話是世人典型的奚落人的方式。若他們看見耶穌從十字架上下來,會真的相信耶穌嗎?耶穌在被釘十字架之前行了那麽多的神跡奇事,他們看見了都沒有信,因此,這裏即使他們看見耶穌從十字架上下來,他們還是不會信的。他們說會信,其實隻是一種幻覺。信心就是信心,是不憑眼見的!
可15:29 從那裏經過的人辱罵他、搖著頭說、咳、你這拆毀聖殿、三日又建造起來的.
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
可15:30 可以救自己從十字架上下來吧。
save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
可15:31 祭司長和文士也是這樣戲弄他、彼此說、他救了別人、不能救自己。
Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.
可15:32 以色列的王基督、現在可以從十字架上下來、叫我們看見、就信了。那和他同釘的人也是譏誚他。
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.
