Matthew 27:42 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

They mocked him saying, 'He helped everyone else, but look — he can't even help himself. If he's really the King of Israel like he claims, let him come down from that cross right now. Then we'll believe him.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
