Then he said
This phrase introduces the words of one of the criminals crucified alongside Jesus. The Greek word used here is "εἶπεν" (eipen), which is a common term for "said" or "spoke." It indicates a direct speech, highlighting the personal and immediate nature of the communication. In the context of the crucifixion, this moment is significant as it captures a rare instance of dialogue amidst the suffering and chaos of the scene. The criminal's words are a direct appeal, showing a moment of introspection and recognition of Jesus' identity.

Jesus
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This name is central to Christian belief, encapsulating the mission and identity of Christ as the Savior. In this context, the criminal's use of Jesus' name is a personal address, acknowledging Him not just as a fellow sufferer but as someone with the authority and power to grant salvation. It reflects a moment of faith and recognition of Jesus' divine role, even in the midst of His own suffering.

remember me
The phrase "remember me" is a plea for mercy and acknowledgment. In the biblical context, to be remembered by God is to be favored and blessed. The Greek word "μνήσθητί" (mnēsthēti) implies more than just recollection; it suggests an active consideration and care. This request is profound, as it demonstrates the criminal's belief in Jesus' ability to transcend death and His authority in the coming kingdom. It is a humble appeal for grace and inclusion in the eternal life that Jesus offers.

when You come
This phrase indicates an expectation of a future event. The Greek "ὅταν ἔλθῃς" (hotan elthēs) suggests a certainty about Jesus' return or arrival in His kingdom. It reflects the eschatological hope present in early Christian belief, where Jesus' second coming is anticipated as a time of judgment and fulfillment of God's promises. The criminal's words show a remarkable understanding of Jesus' messianic role and the future establishment of His reign.

into Your kingdom
The concept of "Your kingdom" refers to the reign of God, which Jesus proclaimed throughout His ministry. The Greek "εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν σου" (eis tēn basileian sou) speaks to the divine rule and the ultimate realization of God's sovereign plan. In the context of Luke's Gospel, the kingdom of God is both a present reality and a future hope. The criminal's request to be remembered in this kingdom underscores his faith in Jesus' kingship and the transformative power of His rule. It is a testament to the belief that, despite the present suffering, there is a promised future where justice, peace, and salvation prevail.

(42) Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.--More accurately, in Thy kingdom. There is something singularly touching in the trust implied in the form of the appeal. He asks for no special boon, no place on the right hand or on the left; no room in the King's palace. He is content not to be forgotten, certain that if the King remember him at all, it will be with thoughts of tenderness and pity.

Verse 42. - And he said unto Jesus. Lord, remember me when thou oomest into thy kingdom. The majority of the older authorities omit "Lord." The translation should run thus: And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom - in, not into. The penitent looked forward to the dying Jesus coming again in (arrayed in) his kingly dignity, surrounded with his power and glory. Very touching is this confidence of the dying in the Dying One who was hanging by his side, his last garment taken from him; very striking is this trust of the poor penitent, that the forsaken Lord will one day appear again as King in his glory. He, and he alone, on that dread day read aright the superscription which mocking Pilate had fixed above the cross, "This is the King of the Jews." He read "with Divine clearsightedness in this deepest night" (Krum-reacher). He asks for no special place in that kingdom whose advent he sees clearly approaching; he only asks the King not to forget him then. On this knowledge of the thief concerning the second advent of Christ, Meyer well writes, "The thief must have become acquainted with the predictions of Jesus concerning his coming, which may very easily have been the case at Jerusalem, and does not directly presuppose any instructions on the part of Jesus; although he may also have heard him himself, and still remembered what he heard. The extraordinary character of his painful position in the very face of death produced as a consequence an extraordinary action of firm faith in those predictions."
