Luke 23:33-43: When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.  [[Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”]]  And they cast lots to divide his clothing.  And the people stood by watching, but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, God’s chosen one!”  The soldiers also mocked Jesus, coming up and offering him sour wine and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”  There was also an inscription over Jesus, “This is the King of the Jews.”

One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding Jesus and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”  But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?  And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”  Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.”  Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
