"Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be
executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they
crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right,
the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father,forgive them, for they
do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his
clothes by casting lots. The people stood watching, and the
rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him
save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” The
soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine
vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save
yourself.” There was a written notice above him, which read:
this is the king of the jews. One of the criminals who hung
there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save
yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t
you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?
We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds
deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”  Then he
said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you
will be with me in paradise.”


Luke 23:32-43
