Luca 23:32

32 Or due altri ancora, ch’erano malfattori, erano menati con lui, per esser fatti morire.

Luca 23:32 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:32

And there were also two other malefactors
Not that Christ was one, though indeed he was looked upon and treated as one by the Jews; but as the words may be read, there were also two others that were malefactors; really such, two thieves, who had been guilty of theft and robbery, and were condemned to die: and these were led with him; for the greater ignominy and reproach of Christ, that it might be thought he was equally a malefactor, and as deserving of death as they:

to be put to death;
the death of the cross, which was the death the Romans put slaves, thieves, and robbers, and the worst and basest of men to.

Luca 23:32 In-Context

31 Perciocchè, se fanno queste cose al legno verde, che sarà egli fatto al secco?

32 Or due altri ancora, ch’erano malfattori, erano menati con lui, per esser fatti morire.

33 E QUANDO furono andati al luogo, detto del Teschio, crocifissero quivi lui, e i malfattori, l’uno a destra, e l’altro a sinistra.

34 E Gesù diceva: Padre, perdona loro, perciocchè non sanno quel che fanno. Poi, avendo fatte delle parti de’ suoi vestimenti, trassero le sorti.
