Commentary on Luke 23:41

Theological / Devotional

We indeed justly. This thief was honest to the point of making a candid admission of his guilt. For the significance of the attitude here reflected in relation to the extending of divine mercy see on Matt. 5:3.

Nothing amiss. Literally, “nothing out of place.” This thief, and probably his companion also, had heard Jesus speak, had been with Him in Pilate’s judgment hall, and together they had gone to the place of execution (see DA 749). Having seen and heard much of what had taken place during the past few hours, the speaker was fully convinced that Jesus was all that He claimed to be. Thus it was also with the centurion supervising the execution (see on Matt. 27:54).
