33 When  * 23:33–34 Mt 27:33–38; Mk 15:22–27; Jn 19:17–24 they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. 34 Then Jesus said, "Father,* 23:34 Mt 5:16; 6:1; 11:27; Jn 8:42forgive* 23:34 Mt 11:25; Lk 6:29,35; 22:42them, because they do not know what they are doing."* 23:34 Other mss omit Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.",* 23:34 Ac 3:17; 1Co 2:6–8 And they divided his clothes and cast lots.  * 23:34 Ps 22:18

35 The  * 23:35–38 Mt 27:43,48; Mk 15:26,29–32; Jn 19:19,29 people stood watching, and even the leaders were scoffing:  * 23:35 Ps 22:7,17; Lk 16:14; 23:13 "He saved others; let him save himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One! "  * 23:35 Is 42:1; Mt 1:17; 12:18; Lk 9:20,35; 1Pt 2:436 The soldiers also mocked him. They came offering him sour wine  * 23:36 Ps 69:2137 and said, "If you are the king of the Jews,  * 23:37 Lk 23:3 save yourself! "

38 An inscription was above him:  * 23:38 Other mss add written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters This Is the King of the Jews.

39 Then  * 23:39–43 Mt 27:44; Mk 15:32 one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at  * 23:39 Or began to blaspheme him: "Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us! "

40 But the other answered, rebuking him: "Don’t you even fear God,  * 23:40 Ps 147:11; Pr 1:7; Ac 10:2; Rv 14:7 since you are undergoing the same punishment? 41 We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong."  * 23:41 Lk 23:442 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me  * 23:42 Other mss add Lord,* 23:42 Jdg 16:28; 1Sm 25:31; Neh 5:19; Jb 14:13; Ps 106:4 when you come into your kingdom."  * 23:42 Mk 8:38; Ac 20:25

43 And he said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."* 23:43 2Co 12:4; Rv 2:7
