ルカの福音書 23:32-37 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:34

Magnanimity an attainment. "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." When—at what particular point did he say that? It is commonly believed that he uttered this most gracious prayer just at the time of the actual crucifixion. Just when the nails were driven into those hands, the hands that had constantly been employed in some ministry of mercy; into those feet that had been continually carrying him on some errand of kindness; or just when the heavy cross,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:34

Sin greater than it seems. "They know not what they do." There is more in our actions, and therefore in our life, than there seems to be to ourselves (see "The largeness of Our life," homily on Luke 10:16 ). There is more of good; more also of evil. These soldiers imagined that they were doing nothing more than executing a malefactor. They were murdering a Messiah; they were putting to death the Son of Man, the Savior of mankind. They knew not what they did; they did not recognize... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:35

And the people stood beholding . A hush seems to have fallen over the scene. The crowd of by-standers were awed as they at first silently gazed on the dying form of the great Teacher. What memories must have surged up in the hearts of many of the gazers—memories of his parables, his mighty miracles, his words of love; memories of the raising of Lazarus, and of the day of palms! Such a silent awe-struck contemplation was dangerous, the rulers felt, so they hastened to commence their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:35

A sad spectacle and the supreme vision. "And the people stood beholding." "Sitting down they watched him there" ( Matthew 27:36 ). Shall we envy those spectators the scene they then witnessed? Shall we wish that we had lived when, with our mortal eyes, we could have seen the Savior crucified on our behalf? I think not. With this distance of time and space between us, we have a better, truer standpoint where we are. No doubt we lose much by that distance; but we gain at least as much as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:35-37

Self-saving and self-sacrifice. We have two things here of which the latter is much the more worth looking at. I. INHUMANITY AT ITS LOWEST . There are many degrees of inhumanity. 1 . It is bad for men or women deliberately to shut themselves out of the society of the wrong and miserable, in order that, without distraction, they may minister to their own comfort or consult their own well-being.. 2 . It is worse to look on the wounded traveler as he lies within sight and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:36

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar . Three times in the Crucifixion scene we find a mention of this vinegar, or the sour wine of the country, the common drink of the soldiers and others, being offered to the Sufferer. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:34

Father, forgive them - This is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53:12; “He made intercession for the transgressors.” The prayer was offered for those who were guilty of putting him to death. It is not quite certain whether he referred to the “Jews” or “to the Roman soldiers.” Perhaps he referred to both. The Romans knew not what they did, as they were really ignorant that he was the Son of God, and as they were merely obeying the command of their rulers. The Jews knew, indeed, that he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:32-34

Luke 23:32-34. There were also two other malefactors This should rather be rendered, Two others, who were malefactors, were also led with him to be put to death. The distinction between Jesus and the malefactors is remarkably preserved in the next verse. And when they were come to the place called Calvary See on Matthew 27:33, and Mark 15:22; there they crucified him That is, nailed him to the cross; and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left So that he... read more
