Luke 23:34-46

34[1But Jesus was saying, “2Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] 3And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. 35And the people stood by, watching. And even the 4rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; 5let Him save Himself if this is the 6Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, 7offering Him sour wine, 37and saying, “8If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” 38Now there was also an inscription above Him, “9THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

3910One of the criminals who were hanged there was 11hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the 12Christ? 13Save Yourself and us!” 40But the other responded, 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 14what we deserve for our crimes; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in 15Paradise.”

4416It was now about 1718the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until 19the ninth hour, 4520because the sun stopped shining; and 21the veil of the temple was torn 22in two. 46And Jesus, 23crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, 24into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He 25died.
