Luke 23:35-43

35The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine,

37and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

38There was also an inscription over him, “This is the king of the Jews.”

39One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

40But the other rebuked him, saying, “Don’t you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

41And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

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

43And Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”
