Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:26-32

Luke 23:26-Jonah : . The Journey to Calvary.— To the incidents of Simon of Cyrene and the two malefactors ( Mark 15:21-Daniel : *, Matthew 27:32-Zechariah : *), Lk. adds that of the women of Jerusalem. Note that the people of the city are here sympathisers. The episode recalls Zechariah 12:10-2 Chronicles :, but need not be based thereon. Other OT reminiscences are Jeremiah 22:10, Isaiah 54:1, Hosea 10:8, Ezekiel 20:47. Luke 23:32 . An a fortiori argument to be interpreted by the context.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:33-43

Luke 23:33-John : . The Crucifixion ( Mark 15:22-Jonah : *, Matthew 27:33-Acts : *). Luke 23:34 . Though not found in the best MSS. ( cf. Luke 22:43 f.), this may be a piece of genuine Gospel tradition, and certainly represents the spirit of Jesus. Cf. p. 669 and Acts 7:60. The prayer includes Romans and Jews alike. Luke 23:36 seems to combine Mark 15:23 and Mark 15:36. The discrimination between the two criminals (Dysmas and Gestus according to the Latin Acts of Pilate) executed with... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 23:32-49

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 23:32.—Malefactors.—Called by St. Matthew and St. Mark “robbers.” Probably they were insurgents against Roman rule, who had been more like brigands than patriots.Luke 23:33. Calvary.—Rather, “The Skull.” The Greek word is simply “kranion,” a rendering of the Hebrew “Golgotha”; our A.V. adopts the Latin word for the same thing. There is no reason for speaking of the place as a mount; it was probably a knoll of ground somewhat like a skull in shape. The idea that it derived its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 23:1-56

And the whole multitude of them arose, and they led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ [or the Messiah,] a king ( Luke 23:1-2 )Now notice, their accusation against Him was blasphemy, "You're saying You're the Son of God." When they brought Him to Pilate to accuse Him before Pilate, they didn't make that charge at all before Pilate. Why? Because they knew... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:1-56

Luke 23:12 . The same day Pilate and Herod were made friends. This occurrence is quoted in Acts 4:27, as an accomplishment of the prophecy in the second psalm. Luke 23:22 . He said to them the third time I have found no cause of death in him. Then Pilate was thrice weak, and thrice wicked, to condemn him to the cross. He was unworthy of any comparison with Gallio, who drove away the jews, and would be no judge of their questions. Luke 23:43 . To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 23:33

Luke 23:33There they crucified HimThe crucifixionI.THE PLACE WHERE OUR LORD SUFFERED. Calvary, or Golgotha: a small eminence, half a mile from Jerusalem; the common place of execution, where the vilest offenders were put to death. 1. The place where Jesus suffered marks the malignant design of His enemies. 2. The place as mentioned by the evangelist marks His strong affection. 3. We may also add that this directs us to the place where we must look for mercy. II. THE NATURE OF CHRIST’S... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:33

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. Ver. 33. Which is called Calvary ] As sad a sight to our Saviour, as the bodies of his slain wife and children were to Mauricius the emperor, who was soon after to be slain also by the command of the traitor Phocas. Let us learn to consider the tyranny and deformity of sin as often as we pass through churchyards and charnelhouses.... read more
