# The people stood

"The people were standing there"

# him

This refers to Jesus.

# He saved others. Let him save himself

Luke records the ironic words of the rulers. The only way Jesus could save others was by dying instead of saving himself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])

# Let him save himself

"Jesus should be able to save himself." They said this to mock Jesus. They did not believe he could save himself. Alternate translation: "We would like to see him prove who he is by saving himself from the cross"

# the chosen one

"the one that God has chosen"
