Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. I fancy the scorn that they threw into their taunt: “If thou be the king of the Jews;” that was a bit of their own. “Save thyself;” that they borrowed from the rulers. Sometimes a scoffer or a mocker cannot exhibit all the bitterness that is in his heart except by using borrowed terms, as...

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. He, too, borrows this speech from the rulers who derided Christ, only putting the words “and us” as a bit of originality. “If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.”
