JMNT(i)
35 And so the people stood, continuing in watching and attentively observing, yet the rulers (leaders; chiefs) ‘began turning their noses up and out, sneering and mocking,’ [Ps. 22:8] and one after another saying, "He rescued and healed other folks, let him rescue and restore himself – if (or: since) this man is God's Anointed One (or: the Christ of God; = the Messiah from God), the Chosen One!"
36 So the soldiers also, approaching, made fun of and ridiculed Him while repeatedly offering sour wine (or: vinegar) to Him, [Ps.69:21]
37 and one after another saying, "If (or: Since) you, yourself, are the king of the Judeans, rescue (restore; save) yourself!"
38 Now there was also an added inscription upon Him (or: = over Him): "THIS [is] THE KING of the JUDEANS."
39 And now one of the criminals being hung began speaking abuse and insults to Him, presently saying, "Are not you, yourself, the Christ? [Then] save yourself, as well as us!"
