38 (Mark 15:27; Luke 23:33; 19:18). Christ Placed as Most Notorious Criminal—Joseph and Nicodemus watched every development at the condemnation and crucifixion of Christ. Not an action escaped them. These men were diligent searchers of the Scriptures, and they were deeply indignant as they saw this man, whom the judges had pronounced to be entirely without fault, placed in the center of two thieves, “on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.” This instruction had been given by the chief priests and rulers, that by his position all might judge that Christ was the most notorious of the three (Manuscript 103, 1897). {5BC 1107.8}42. See EGW comment on Luke 24:13-15.{5BC 1108.1}

38 (Mark 15,27; Luk. 23,33; Joh. 19,18). Kristus blev placeret som den mest berygtede forbryder.--Josef og Nikodemus iagttog enhver udvikling i Kristi fordømmelse og korsfæstelse. De gik ikke glip af en eneste handling. Disse mænd var flittige granskere af skrifterne, og de var meget opbragte, (1108) da de så denne mand, som dommerne havde erklæret fuldstændig uden skyld, blive placeret i midten af to røvere, “en på hver side, og Jesus i midten.” Denne anvisning var blevet givet af ypperstepræsterne og rådsherrerne, så alle, på grund af hans placering, skulle anse Kristus, som den mest berygtede af de tre. (MS 103, 1897).
