Wesley's Notes for Luke 23:37


23:35 If thou be the Christ; #Lu 23:37|. If thou be the king - The priests deride the name of Messiah: the soldiers the name of king.

23:38 #Mt 27:37|; Mr 15:26; Joh 19:19.

23:39 And one of the malefactors reviled him - St. Matthew says, the robbers: St. Mark, they that were crucified with him, reviled him. Either therefore St. Matthew and Mark put the plural for the singular (as the best authors sometimes do) or both reviled him at the first, till one of them felt the overwhelming power of saving grace.
