Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 27:44

"And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach." — Matthew 27:44 (ASV)

The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

Nobody seemed to look upon him with any desire to help him, but even the lowest of the low would contribute their portion of mockery to increase his misery.

The sharers of His misery, the wretched ones who were crucified with Him, joined in reviling Jesus. Nothing was lacking to fill up His cup of suffering and shame. The conversion of the penitent thief was all the more remarkable because he had only a short time before been among the mockers of his Savior. What a trophy of divine grace he became!

The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

The sharers of his misery, the outcasts who were crucified with him, joined in reviling Jesus. Nothing was lacking to fill up his cup of suffering and shame. The conversion of the penitent thief was all the more remarkable because he had only a short time before been among the mockers of his Saviour. What a trophy of divine grace he became!
