Abstract

Luke’s crucifixion scene includes a brief and unique exchange between the crucified Jesus and an unidentified crucified individual often referred to as the ‘penitent thief’. The dialogue between the two only spans two verses (Luke 23:42-43). Among the words they exchange, interpreters sometimes neglect the thief’s request – ‘remember me’ (μνήσθητί μου) – and its Christological implications. This article explores those implications given the request’s intertextual and intratextual features as well as its reception history. Based on these features, the overarching argument is that the cry ‘remember me’ functions as a dying lament shaped by similar laments in Israel’s Scriptures. The ‘remember me’ of this ‘lamenting thief’ is a request for divine forgiveness, mercy, and vindication. Such cries are normally directed to Israel’s God alone within the cultural heritage of Second Temple Judaism. In this way, Luke not only includes Jesus within the divine identity of Israel’s God, but, in the climactic scene of his biography, he brings him into the deepest contours of that relationship, namely the cry for deliverance in the face of death and judgement.
从哀歌看 "记念我"(路加福音 23:42)的神圣基督论
路加福音》中的受难场景包括被钉在十字架上的耶稣与一个身份不明的被钉在十字架上的人之间简短而独特的交流,这个人通常被称为 "忏悔的小偷"。两人的对话仅有两节(路加福音 23:42-43)。在他们的对话中,解经者有时会忽略小偷的请求--"记念我"(μνήσθητί μου)--及其基督论的含义。本文根据该请求的文本间和文本内特征及其接受历史来探讨这些含义。基于这些特点,本文的主要论点是,"记念我 "的呼喊是一种临终的哀叹,它受到以色列经文中类似哀叹的影响。这个 "哀哭的盗贼 "的 "记念我 "是请求神的宽恕、怜悯和平反。在第二圣殿犹太教的文化遗产中,这种呼喊通常只针对以色列的上帝。通过这种方式,路加不仅将耶稣纳入了以色列上帝的神圣身份之中,而且在其传记的高潮场景中,他将耶稣带入了这种关系最深层的轮廓之中,即在死亡和审判面前请求解救的呼声。
