Luke 23:35-38

'The people stood watching... the rulers scoffed' realizes Psalm 22:7, 'all who see me mock me; they make mouths at me, they wag their heads.' The watching-and-deriding tableau is the psalm's own scene; recurrence with v. 35 mockery is strong.

Matt 27:39-44

'All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads' — directly behind 'those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads.' Verbatim gesture of head-wagging derision.
