Contextual Overview

32Two other outlaws were being led out with Jesus to be killed. 33When they got to Skull Hill, they nailed Jesus to a cross and lifted him up for all to see. The outlaws were also put on crosses—one on the left and one on Jesus's right. 34Jesus said, "Dad, don't hold this against them. They have no idea what they are truly doing." Below him, the Roman soldiers were betting on his clothes by rolling dice. 35As the crowds watched, some of the religious leaders laughed and yelled, "If he is God's Son, if he is God's Top Hand, if he can save others, let's see him get himself off that cross!" 36The soldiers also made fun of him by offering him some sour wine like they were his servants and he was a king. 37Many called out to Jesus saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, prove it by saving yourself!" 38Someone had placed a handwritten plaque above Jesus's head that said, "King of the Jews." 39One of the outlaws next to him said, "Show 'em all who is Boss. Save yourself and take us with you." 40But the other outlaw shushed him and said, "Don't you see? We're fixing to meet our Maker, and 41we deserve what we're gettin'. But this man," he shook his head sadly as he looked at Jesus, "but this man has done nothing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And we indeed justly,.... For sins committed against the law; our sentence is just, we are righteously punished: which shows that he had a true sense of sin; for where that is, there will be not only an acknowledgment of the offence, but a vindication of the justice of God, should he proceed to deal according to the demerit of sin: for we receive the due reward of our deeds; though, according to the law of Moses, theft was not punishable with death, but with a restoration, either double, or fourfold, or fivefold, according to the nature of it; see Exodus 22:1. It may be these men had committed murder along with the robbery:

but this man hath done nothing amiss; or absurd, unreasonable, wicked, and detestable: he did no injury to God, or man; wronged no man's person or property; did all things well; obeyed the law of God perfectly, and always did the things which were pleasing to God. Thus, from the mouth of one of the malefactors Christ suffered with, was he declared innocent; when the Jews designed, by crucifying him with them, to have led the people to have believed that he suffered for a crime equal, or superior to theirs.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Due reward of our deeds - The proper punishment for our crimes. They had been highwaymen, and it was just that they should die.
