We are punished justly
This phrase reflects the acknowledgment of guilt and acceptance of the consequences of one's actions. In the Greek, the word for "justly" (δικαίως, dikaiōs) implies righteousness and fairness. The criminal on the cross recognizes that their punishment is deserved, aligning with the biblical principle of justice. This admission is significant in the context of repentance, as it shows a heart that is contrite and aware of its own sinfulness, a key theme throughout Scripture.

for we are receiving what our actions deserve
The phrase underscores the concept of retributive justice, where actions have corresponding consequences. The Greek word for "actions" (πράσσω, prassō) refers to deeds or practices, emphasizing the idea that their current suffering is a direct result of their past behavior. This acknowledgment is crucial in the biblical narrative, as it highlights the importance of personal responsibility and the moral order established by God.

But this man
The contrast introduced by "But" (δέ, de) is significant, drawing a clear distinction between the criminals and Jesus. The phrase "this man" (οὗτος, houtos) is used to refer to Jesus with a sense of respect and recognition of His innocence. This distinction is pivotal in the Gospel narrative, as it sets the stage for the recognition of Jesus' righteousness and the injustice of His crucifixion.

has done nothing wrong
The declaration of Jesus' innocence is central to the Gospel message. The Greek word for "wrong" (ἄτοπος, atopos) means out of place or improper, indicating that Jesus' actions were blameless. This acknowledgment by the criminal is profound, as it comes from someone who is himself condemned, yet he perceives the purity and sinlessness of Christ. This recognition is a testament to Jesus' divine nature and the fulfillment of His role as the spotless Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

(41) This man hath done nothing amiss.--The confident assertion may have rested on previous knowledge of our Lord's life and character, or on some report that had reached him on his way to Golgotha, or on Pilate's confession that he found no fault in Him.
