Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 23:42

"And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom." — Luke 23:42 (ASV)

Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.—More accurately, in Your kingdom. There is something singularly touching in the trust implied in the form of the appeal. He asks for no special favor, 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 remembers him at all, it will be with thoughts of tenderness and pity.
