Crucifixion was a Roman practice designed to be a public spectacle and deterrent, often carried out in prominent locations like Golgotha, just outside Jerusalem. The shared experience of crucifixion with Jesus highlights the depth of His humiliation and suffering.<p><b>berated Him</b><br>The act of berating Jesus by the robbers adds to the mockery and rejection He faced. This reflects the cultural and historical context where those suffering the same fate might seek to deflect their own shame by joining in the ridicule of another.

The mention of the penitent robber is found only in Luke (<a href="/luke/23-39.htm">Luke 23:39-42</a>). It does not seem to have occurred in the traditional account followed by Matthew and Mark. Augustine thought that these synoptists used the plural for the singular, referring, in fact, to the impenitent malefactor. It is more likely that both the thieves at first joined the mob in their abuse and ribaldry, but that one, after a time, persuaded by the Divine patience and meekness of the Saviour, and awed by the gathering darkness, repented, confessed, and was forgiven. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/27-44.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">In the same way,</span><br /><span class="grk">αὐτὸ</span> <span class="translit">(auto)</span><br /><span class="parse">Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Accusative Neuter 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_846.htm">Strong's 846: </a> </span><span class="str2">He, she, it, they, them, same.
