Luke 23:39-49

39 ¹One of the criminals who were hanged ²railed at him,^[a] saying, "Are you not ³the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me ⁴when you come into your kingdom."

43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in ⁵Paradise."

44 ⁶It was now about the sixth hour,^[b] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,^[c]

45 while the sun's light failed. And ⁷the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

46 Then Jesus, ⁸calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, ⁹into your hands I ¹⁰commit my spirit!" And having said this ¹¹he breathed his last.

47 Now ¹²when the centurion saw what had taken place, ¹³he praised God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ¹⁴beating their breasts.

49 And all ¹⁵his acquaintances and ¹⁶the women who had followed him from Galilee ¹⁷stood at a distance watching these things.
