Church Fathers on Matthew 27:43
Having stripped and crucified Christ, they go yet further, and seeing Him on the cross revile Him.
'They revile him' because they passed by that way, and would not walk in the true way of the Scriptures. 'They wagged their heads,' because they had just before shifted their feet, and stood not upon a rock. The foolish rabble cast the same taunt against Him that the false witnesses had invented, 'Aha! thou that destroyest the temple of God and rebuildest it in three days.'
'Aha!' is an interjection of taunt and mockery.
