ACC ~ Mark 15 v27b

THE COMING JUDGMENT

AUGUSTINE: Amid the courtroom of the cross, one robber who believed was freed, the other who insulted him was condemned. [1] He was then signifying in advance what he would do concerning the living and the dead, putting some on his right and some on his left. [2] The one robber was like to those who would be on the left; the other, to those who would be on the right. He who was being judged was anticipating final judgment. TRACTATES ON JOHN 31.11. [3]
