Luke 23:33-43
33 When they came to the place called “The Skull,” they crucified Jesus there, and the
two criminals, one on his right and the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Forgive them,
Father! They don't know what they are doing.” They divided his clothes among
themselves by throwing dice. 35 The people stood there watching while the Jewish
leaders made fun of him: “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah
whom God has chosen!” 36 The soldiers also made fun of him: they came up to him
and offered him cheap wine, 37 and said, “Save yourself if you are the king of the Jews!”
38 Above him were written these words: “This is the King of the Jews.” 39 One of the
criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: “Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself
and us!” 40 The other one, however, rebuked him, saying, “Don't you fear God? You
received the same sentence he did. 41 Ours, however, is only right, because we are
getting what we deserve for what we did; but he has done no wrong.” 42 And he said to
Jesus, “Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King!” 43 Jesus said to him, “I
promise you that today you will be in Paradise with me.”
