Luke 23:33–43

³³When ^jthey arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. [³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, ^kforgive ^lthem, because they do not know what they are doing.” ^m] ⁿAnd they divided His clothes and cast lots. ^o

³⁵The ^ppeople stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing: ^q“He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!” ^r36The soldiers also mocked Him. They came offering Him sour wine ^s37and said, “If You are the King of the Jews, ^tsave Yourself!”

³⁸An inscription was above Him: ^u

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹Then ^vone of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at ^wHim: “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”

⁴⁰But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, ^xsince you are undergoing the same punishment? ⁴¹We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” ^y42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me ^zawhen You come into Your kingdom!” ^b

⁴³And He said to him, “^•I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.” ^c
