Luke 23:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 23:33

31 ^aFor if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

32 ^aThere were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

33 And ^awhen they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

34 ¹Then Jesus said, “Father, ^aforgive them, for ^bthey do not know what they do.” And ^cthey divided His garments and cast lots.

35 And ^athe people stood looking on. But even the ^brulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”

Luke 23:33

In Luke 21:24, only in Luke do we have the "times of the Gentiles" mentioned. In Luke 21:29, you read the story about the fig tree. Only Luke mentions "all the trees." The fig tree which was probably Judah, the people to whom Christ came expecting fruit and He did not find any, and He cursed the tree. But there is a mention in Luke's account of all the trees, meaning all of the Gentiles. In Luke 23:33, only Luke uses the Gentile name Calvary instead of Golgotha, the Hebrew or Aramaic word.
