Luke 23:35-43

35The people stood there watching. But the rulers were making sarcastic remarks. They said, “He saved others. If he’s the Messiah that God has chosen, let him save himself!”

36The soldiers also made fun of him. They would go up to him, offer him some vinegar,

37and say, “If you’re the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

38A written notice was placed above him. It said, “This is the king of the Jews.”

39One of the criminals hanging there insulted Jesus by saying, “So you’re really the Messiah, are you? Well, save yourself and us!”

40But the other criminal scolded him: “Don’t you fear God at all? Can’t you see that you’re condemned in the same way that he is?

41Our punishment is fair. We’re getting what we deserve. But this man hasn’t done anything wrong.”

42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom.”

43Jesus said to him, “I can guarantee this truth: Today you will be with me in paradise.”
