5. The thief asked Jesus to remember him for good, when Jesus returned "in" his Kingdom (R.S.V.). The thief was therefore not ignorant of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God which Jesus had been preaching (Mt.4:23). He knew that there would be a judgment day at the establishment of that Kingdom, and therefore he asked Jesus, whom he knew would rise from the dead to eventually be the judge on that day, to remember him for good.
Mnyang’anyi alimwomba Yesu amkumbuke kwa mema hapo Yesu akirudi "katika" Ufalme wake (R.S.V). Kwa hiyo mnyang’anyi hakuwa mjinga wa kutojua Injili ya Ufalme wa Munngu aliyokuwa Yesu anahubiri(Math 4:23).
