Verse 44. And the same thing the thieves also: that is one of them, the other being converted, as we find Luke 23:39. Witham.—Saint Ambrose, S. Chrysostom, S. Jerom, and Ven. Bede say, that at first both of the thieves blasphemed; but one of them seeing the wonderful things that happened, that is that the sun was darkened, the rocks split asunder, and so forth was terrified and converted, he believed in Jesus, and atoned for his former evil language, by praying to him as to his God. Dion. Carth.
