This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
40. ὁ ἕτερος. The ‘bonus latro,’ or ‘Penitent Robber,’ is called Titus in the Arabic ‘Gospel of the Infancy’; and Dysmas in Ev. Nicodem. X., and a story is told that he had saved the Virgin and her Child from his comrades during their flight into Egypt. There are robber caves in the Valley of Doves which leads from Gennesareth to Kurn Hattin (see on Luk 6:12), and he may have been among the crowds who hung on the lips of Jesus in former days. “Doubtless the cross aided his penitence. On the soft couch conversion is rare.” Bengel.
οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν θεόν. ‘Dost not thou even fear God?’
