Luke 23:32-56

32Others, two evildoers, were also led away to be put to death with Him.

33When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on His right and the other on His left.

34But Yeshua was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots, dividing up His clothing.

35The people stood there watching. And even the leaders were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Messiah of God, the Chosen One!”

36The soldiers likewise mocked Him, coming up and bringing Him sour wine,

37and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

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

39One of the evildoers hanging there was jeering at Him, saying, “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself—and us!”

40But the other one, rebuking him, replied, “Don’t you fear God, since you are under the same sentence?

41We’re getting what we deserve for our actions, and rightly so—but this One has done nothing wrong.”

42And he said, “Yeshua, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

43Yeshua said to him, “Amen, I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour,

45for the sun died out. And the curtain of the Temple was torn in two.

46And Yeshua, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I entrust My spirit.’” When He had said this, He breathed His last.

47Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began glorifying God, saying, “Truly this was a righteous Man.”

48And all the crowds assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had happened, began to turn back, beating their breasts.

49But all Yeshua’s acquaintances, and the women who were following Him from the Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.

50Now there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and righteous man.

51(He had not been in agreement with the council and their action.) He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body.

53And he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

54Now it was the Day of Preparation, and Shabbat was approaching.

55The women who had come with Him from the Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

56Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. But on Shabbat they rested according to the commandment.
