Commentaries on Luke 23:42

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 42Lord, remember me, etc. - It is worthy of remark, that this man appears to have been the first who believed in the intercession of Christ.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 42Remember me - This is a phrase praying for favor, or asking him to grant him an “interest” in his kingdom, or to acknowledge him as one of his followers.

(2) This he calls Christ's own (Thy) kingdom. (3) As such, he sees in Christ the absolute right to dispose of that kingdom to whom He pleased. (4) He does not presume to ask a place in that kingdom, though that is what he means, but with a humility…Read the comment
