Luke 23:33

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.”

36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him ^asour wine,

37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

38 ^aAnd an inscription also was¹ written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 ^aThen one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying,¹ “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

The skull (to kranion). Probably because it looked like a skull. See on Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:22.

There they crucified him (ekei estaurwsan). There between the two robbers and on the very cross on which Barabbas, the leader of the robber band, was to have been crucified.

One (on men),

the other (on de). Common idiom of contrast with this old demonstrative ov and men and de.
