Commentary
Commentary on Matthew 27:43
Theological / DevotionalHe trusted in God. Through wily hypocrites Satan attacked Christ’s faith in His Father (see on v. 40). As Jesus went through the experience of Gethsemane, and now as He hung upon the cross, Satan spared no device, however cruel and false, to shake the Saviour’s hold on His Father’s love and overruling providence. It was this love that was the citadel of the Saviour’s strength to endure and of His victory over all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Let him deliver. Unwittingly, Jesus’ tormentors used the very words of prophecy (Ps. 22:8).
Will. Gr. thelō, here meaning, “to desire.”
He said, I am. See on v. 40.
