Luke 23:33–43

The Crucifixion

^33aWhen they came to the place called ¹The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

³⁴¹But Jesus was saying, “^aFather, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” ^bAnd they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

³⁵And the people stood by, looking on. And even the ^arulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; ^blet Him save Himself if this is the ¹Christ of God, His Chosen One.”

³⁶The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, ^aoffering Him sour wine,

³⁷and saying, “^aIf You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”

³⁸Now there was also an inscription above Him, “^aTHIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

^39aOne of the criminals who were hanged there was ¹hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the ²Christ? ^bSave Yourself and us!”

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

⁴¹“And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving ¹what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴²And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come ¹in Your kingdom!”

⁴³And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in ^aParadise.”
