‏ Luke 23:33

The Crucifixion

When they have reached the place called The Skull, that is the place of execution, He is crucified there, together with the criminals, one of whom is crucified on His right and the other on His left. It emphasizes that the Lord Jesus hangs in the middle as if He were the greatest criminal.

Luke describes the fact of the crucifixion in a single word, but what a world of pain is hidden in it. That pain is certainly physical, but above all spiritual. The Lord Jesus is not insensitive to the fact that His people give Him this place, the people He came to bless.
