Jesus was reviled while suffering on the torture stake, for Matthew reports: “The passersby began speaking abusively of him, wagging their heads and saying: ‘ O you would - be thrower - down of the temple and builder of it in three days, save yourself! If you are a son of God, come down off the torture stake! ’ ”
Kad Jēzus cieta pie moku staba, ļaudis viņu nievāja, kā liecināja Matejs: ” Garāmgājēji zaimoja viņu, galvas kratīdami, un sacīja: ” Viņš gribēja noplēst templi un to atkal uzcelt trijās dienās; palīdzi pats sev; ja tu esi Dieva Dēls, kāp no krusta zemē. ” ”
