Luc 23:39 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:39

And one of the malefactors, which were hanged
On the cross, one of the thieves crucified with Christ; the Oriental versions add, "with him"; according to the Evangelists Matthew and Mark, both of them reviled him, and threw the same things in his teeth as the priests, people, and soldiers did; which how it may be reconciled, (See Gill on Matthew 27:44)

railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself, and us;
taking up the words of the rulers, and adding to them, perhaps, with a design to curry favour with them, hoping thereby to get a release; or, however, showing the wickedness and malice of his heart, which his sufferings and punishment, he now endured, could make no alteration in; see ( Revelation 16:9 ) .

Luc 23:39 In-Context

37 ils disaient: Si tu es le roi des Juifs, sauve-toi toi-même!

38 Il y avait au-dessus de lui cette inscription: Celui-ci est le roi des Juifs.

39 L'un des malfaiteurs crucifiés l'injuriait, disant: N'es-tu pas le Christ? Sauve-toi toi-même, et sauve-nous!

40 Mais l'autre le reprenait, et disait: Ne crains-tu pas Dieu, toi qui subis la même condamnation?

41 Pour nous, c'est justice, car nous recevons ce qu'ont mérité nos crimes; mais celui-ci n'a rien fait de mal.
