Study Note

The crowd's taunt 'he trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him, for he said I am the Son of God' is a near-verbatim citation of Psalm 22:8 ('he trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him; let him deliver him'), embedding the Passion within the Psalter's Righteous Sufferer tradition. The irony is double: the mockers who quote Psalm 22 do not recognize that they are fulfilling the psalm's narrative of vindication, which proceeds in verses 24–31 to divine rescue and universal praise. The phrase 'if he will have him' (ei thelei auton) introduces a conditional that the Gethsemane prayer (26:39: 'not as I will but as thou wilt') has already answered — divine will and the path of suffering are identical. The taunting appropriation of Scripture by opponents of the righteous is itself a pattern in Psalm 22 and Wisdom of Solomon 2:10–20.
