Context of Luke 23:49

47When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify God, saying, “This man really was righteous!” 48All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests. But all who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. 50There was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, 51who had not agreed with their plan and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.

He was willing to offer himself. Let us seek to glorify God by true repentance and conversion; by protesting against those who crucify the Saviour; by a sober, righteous, and godly life; and by employing our talents in the service of Him who died for us and rose again.Read the comment
