Luke 23:33–46

³³When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus^u there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. [[³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”]]^v And they cast lots to divide his clothing.^{* 35}And the people stood by watching, but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah^w of God, his chosen one!”^{* 36}The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine^{* 37}and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” ³⁸There was also an inscription over him,^x “This is the King of the Jews.”

³⁹One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding^y him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah?^z Save yourself and us!”^{* 40}But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”^{* 42}Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in^a your kingdom.” ⁴³He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”^*

The Death of Jesus

⁴⁴It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land^b until three in the afternoon, ⁴⁵while the sun’s light failed,^c and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.^{* 46}Then Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last.^*
