Luke 23:37-50

393One of the criminals who were hanged there was 4hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the 5Christ? 6Save 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? 41And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving 7what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come 8in Your kingdom!” 43And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in 9Paradise.”

4410It was now about 1112the sixth hour, and darkness 13fell over the whole land until 14the ninth hour, 4515because the sun was obscured; and 16the veil of the temple was torn 17in two. 46And Jesus, 18crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, 19into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last. 4720Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began 21praising God, saying, “Certainly this man was 22innocent.” 48And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, 2324beating their breasts. 4925And all His acquaintances and 26the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

5027And a man named Joseph, who was a 28member of the Council, a good and righteous man
