Mat 27:43 | CPDV | STEP | He trusted in God; so now, let God free him, if he wills him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

‏ Matthew 27:43

43 He trusted in God; so now, let God free him, if he wills him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” ^{▼▼27:43Literally the text says “for he said ‘that I am the Son of God’ ” Quotations were written differently in that time period than they are today. We would say either, “for he said that he is the Son of God,” or, “for he said: ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” But the text has something of a combination of those two approaches.(Conte)}
