‏ Luke 23:39

 Railed ( εβλασφημε ). Imperfect active, implying that he kept it up. His question formally calls for an affirmative answer ( ουχ ), but the ridicule is in his own answer: "Save thyself and us." It was on a level with an effort to break prison. Luke alone gives this incident (39-43), though Mr 15:32; Mt 27:44 allude to it.
