Luke 23:35-43

35Now the people stood by, watching; but even the rulers ridiculed and sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others [from death]; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) of God, His Chosen One.”

36The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him and [cruelly] offering Him sour wine,

37and sarcastically saying, “If you are [really] the King of the Jews, save Yourself [from death]!”

38Now there was also an inscription above Him: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39One of the criminals who had been hanged [on a cross beside Him] kept hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us [from death]!”

40But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

41We are suffering justly, because we are getting what we deserve for what we have done; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”

42And he was saying, “Jesus, [please] remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Jesus said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
