Contextual Overview

33 And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted The Skull. 34 And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall; and he tasted it, but he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots. 36 And they were sitting there and watching him. 37 And they placed above his head in writing the reason for his death: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. 39 And those who passed by blasphemed against him, nodding their heads, 40 And saying, O you who can tear down the temple and build it in three days, deliver yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross. 41 The high priests likewise were mocking, together with the scribes, the elders and the Pharisees. 42 And they were saying, He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe in him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The thieves also,.... One or other of them, not both; an Hebrew way of speaking, as Drusius b observed: so it is said of Jonah, Jonah 1:5, that he was "gone down into the sides of the ship"; not into both sides, but into one or other of them: so here the thieves, one or other of them, not naming which, railed at Jesus, for it was but one of them; see Luke 23:39, unless it can be thought, as it is by some, that they both at first reviled him; but one being quickly convinced of his evil, ceased, and rebuked his fellow sufferer, confessed his, sin, bore a testimony to the innocence of Christ, and desired to be remembered by him in his kingdom. This was an aggravation of the sufferings of Christ, that he should be vilified by those,

which were crucified with him; who ought to have been, considering the condemnation they were in, and the future state they were just entering into, lamenting and confessing the sins they had been guilty of, instead of adding sin to sin, and so aggravating their condemnation. These, at least one of them,

cast the same into his teeth; as the populace, the chief priests, Scribes, elders, and Pharisees had done; twitted him with his pretensions of being the Son of God, the Messiah, and king of Israel; and urged, that if he was, why did not he save himself, and them also?

b Quaest. Heb. l. 1. qu. 5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The thieves also - The robbers, or highwaymen. Luke says Luke 23:39 that one of them did it, and that the other reproved him and was penitent. The account in Luke may, however, easily be reconciled with that in Matthew by supposing that “at first both” of them reviled the Saviour, and that it is of this fact that Matthew speaks. Afterward one of them relented and became penitent perhaps from witnessing the patient sufferings of Christ. It is of this one particularly that Luke speaks. Or it may be that what is true of one of the criminals is by Matthew attributed to both. The evangelists, when for the sake of brevity they avoid particularizing, often attribute to many what is said or done by single persons, meaning no more than that it was done by some one or more of them, without specifying the one. Compare Mark 7:17 with Matthew 15:15; Mark 5:31 with Luke 8:45; Luke 9:13 with John 6:8-9.

Cast the same in his teeth - This is a most unhappy translation. It means in the original simply, they upbraided him or reproached him in the same manner.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 44. The thieves also - cast the same in his teeth. — That is, one of the robbers; for one, we find, was a penitent, Luke 23:39-40. See this form of expression accounted for, on Matthew 26:8.
