Luke 23:40 - People's Commentary (NT)

Luke 23:40

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.”

40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done ^anothing wrong.”

42 Then he said¹ to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^aParadise.”

Jesus Dies on the Cross

44 ^aNow it¹ was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
