Luke 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.

Luke 23:32 In-Context

30 Then people will say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' And they will say to the hills, 'Cover us!'

31 If they act like this now when life is good, what will happen when bad times come?"

32 There were also two criminals led out with Jesus to be put to death.

33 When they came to a place called the Skull, the soldiers crucified Jesus and the criminals -- one on his right and the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing." The soldiers threw lots to decide who would get his clothes.
