Jude 1:1
Salutation
1:1 From Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, wrapped in the love of God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
Psalms 35:25
35:25 Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha! We have what we wanted!”
Do not let them say, “We have devoured him!”
Matthew 27:39-44
27:39 Those
who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads
27:40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!
If you are God’s Son, come down
from the cross!”
27:41 In
the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law
and elders
– were mocking him:
27:42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down
now from the cross, we will believe in him!
27:43 H
e trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!”
27:44 The
robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.
