• How could the Son have acted in contravention of the Father's will? Their words spoke of relationship, which, if real, implied subjection to the Father. Their use of them at such a time proved how little subjection to the Father was in their thoughts. "Save thyself." Such language revealed the current of their thoughts, that self, not the Father's will should be the guiding principle for man's conduct. (“Remarks on Matthew 27” by W. Kelly)
• Power exerted for the benefit of others was a proof of His Messiahship-.power put forth to save Himself from death when on the cross was never predicted as a proof that the King of Israel was on earth. They rejected what the word of God would have led them to look for, and asked for a sign which no prophet had authorized them to expect. (“Remarks on Matthew 27” by W. Kelly)
