Luke 23:33-46

New International Version

³³ 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. ³⁴ Jesus said, “Father,^(A) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”^[a](B) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.^(C)

³⁵ The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.^(D) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”^(E)

³⁶ The soldiers also came up and mocked him.^(F) They offered him wine vinegar^{(G) 37} and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,^(H) save yourself.”

³⁸ There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.^(I)

³⁹ One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”^(J)

⁴⁰ But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? ⁴¹ We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”^(K)

⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.^[b]”^(L)

⁴³ Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”^(M)

The Death of Jesus^(N)

⁴⁴ It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,^{(O) 45} for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple^(P) was torn in two.^{(Q) 46} Jesus called out with a loud voice,^(R) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”^[c](S) When he had said this, he breathed his last.^(T)
