NETBible

The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed 1  him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save 2  himself if 3  he is the Christ 4  of God, his chosen one!”

NET Notes

1 tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

2 sn The irony in the statement Let him save himself is that salvation did come, but later, not while on the cross.

3 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text.

4 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

4 sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.
