37“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
38Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
40But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
41We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
43And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
45The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
47When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
48And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
49But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
