Exegesis
The subject is introduced as heis tōn kremasthentōn kakopoiōn {εἷς τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακοποιῶν | heis tōn kremasthentōn kakopoiōn}, literally ‘one of the hanged criminals’, where the genitive participle kremasthentōn {κρεμασθέντων | kremasthentōn} and the genitive noun kakopoiōn {κακοποιῶν | kakopoiōn} form a defining genitive phrase specifying the group from which the “one” is drawn.
In context — Luke 23:39
But one of the criminals who were hanged was blaspheming Him, saying, “If You are the Christ , save Yourself and us.”
