Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:32-43

32-43 As soon as Christ was fastened to the cross, he prayed for those who crucified him. The great thing he died to purchase and procure for us, is the forgiveness of sin. This he prays for. Jesus was crucified between two thieves; in them were shown the different effects the cross of Christ would have upon the children of men in the preaching the gospel. One malefactor was hardened to the last. No troubles of themselves will change a wicked heart. The other was softened at the last: he was... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 23:1-99

Luke 23 THEN SECOND, they led Him to Pilate to get the Roman sanction for the execution of this sentence. Here they changed their ground completely, and charged Him as being an insurrectionary and a rival to Caesar. Jesus confessed Himself to be the King of the Jews, yet Pilate declared Him to be faultless. This might seem a surprising declaration, but Mark gives us a peep behind the scenes when he tells us that Pilate knew that the fierce hatred of the religious leaders was inspired by... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 23:32-34

The crucifixion: v. 32. And there were also two other, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death. v. 33. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. v. 34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His raiment and cast lots. At the same time that Jesus was led out of the city to be crucified, and in accordance with the word of... read more

b. JESUS ON THE CROSS (Luke 23:32-38)(Parallel with Matthew 27:33-44; Mark 15:22-32; John 19:18-24.)32And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary [A skull], there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.11 And they parted his raiment [clothing], and cast lots. 35And the people... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 23:33-41

Luke WORDS FROM THE CROSS Luk_23:33 - Luk_23:46 . The calm tone of all the narratives of the Crucifixion is very remarkable. Each Evangelist limits himself to the bare recording of facts, without a trace of emotion. They felt too deeply to show feeling. It was fitting that the story which, till the end of time, was to move hearts to a passion of love and devotion, should be told without any colouring. Let us beware of reading it coldly! This passage is more adapted to be pondered in... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 23:26-34

“They Crucified the Lord of Glory” Luke 23:26-34 Simon’s two sons are believed to have become Christians. See Mark 15:21 , Romans 16:13 . Perhaps this strange interruption in his ordinary experiences led to the whole household becoming Christian. Jesus and he bore the cross together. So later, Symeon of Cambridge, who was much reviled for his evangelical principles, loved to think that he and Christ were suffering together. Ever more thoughtful for others than for Himself, the Lord seemed to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:1-56

This is the story of the Cross, and, as in dealing with other Gospels, it is best read in reverent quietness and meditation. We see all the forces of evil as represented in the Jewish priests and in Pilate joining hands to secure the murder of Jesus. Dr. Maclaren has remarked that there is something impressive in the unbroken continuity of the clauses in this paragraph which follow one another, linked by a simple 'and,' like the waves of the Dead Sea which roll heavily in dreary succession. It... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 23:11-38

The Suffering Christ Luke 23:11-38 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When Christ came down to this earth; He who was holy, who knew no sin, suffered all the sorrows that sin brought into a world of shame and of wickedness. The conception of the ancients, was that suffering was the result of sin. When Job sat in all of his agony and pain, his three false friends came to him and said, in substance, "The reason you suffer is because you have sinned. There is something wrong in your life." God, however, said... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 23:33-46

The Crucifixion Luke 23:33-46 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We feel it would not be fitting for us to study the scenes of the Cross itself, without spending a few moments in considering Christ's Gethsemane experience, and the trial before Pilate; therefore we are speaking on these things as the approach to the study proper, 1. In agony He prayed. Can we consider the experience of Christ, as He entered the garden of Gethsemane and agonized in prayer, without being moved in our souls? Into the garden He... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:34

THE FIRST OF THE SEVEN WORDS‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’ Luke 23:34 The greatest fact in the whole world is sin; the greatest need in the whole world is forgiveness. But Christ needed not to pray for forgiveness for Himself; so He prays for our very greatest need—forgiveness. I. We come to church, and, kneeling underneath the Cross, we ask that the blood of the covenant may fall upon us, and we say devoutly what others said in derision, ‘His blood be upon us and... read more
