The
Suffering Righteous as Son of God (Mt. 27:43).
In Mt. 27:43 the chief
priests mock Jesus in the words of the suffering righteous (Ps. 22:8) because
He regarded Himself as the Son of God like the suffering righteous in Wis.
2:18. In Wis. 2:13, 18 this designation is fully parallel to “servant of God” and
is used of the righteous man (→ 354, 30 ff.) who, trusting in God as his
Father, will be exalted among the sons of God after his passion and ignominious
death. Since Son of God was combined only with this servant and not with the
Messianic Servant of Is. 53, this aspect of the tradition outside Mt. 27:43 (→
379, 21 ff.) led only to the general thought that Son of God and suffering are
not incompatible → 383, 18 ff., 26 ff. (Eduard Schweizer, “Υἱός, Υἱοθεσία,” in Theological Dictionary of the New Testament,
ed. Gerhard Kittel, Geoffrey W. Bromiley, and Gerhard Friedrich, 10 vols. [Grand
Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 1964–], 8:378)
