📖Luke 23:33-46

33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified Him and the thieves, one on the right hand and one on the left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Then they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 The people stood watching. And the rulers with them mocked Him, saying, “This man saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, chosen by God.” 36 And the soldiers mocked Him, coming and offering Him vinegar. 37 saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.” 38 And it was written above Him in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, “This is the King of the Jews.” 39 One of the thieves who were crucified reviled Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” 40 But another rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you yourself are under the same condemnation?” 41 And we rightly so, for we receive the reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong. 42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom!” 43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. 44 It was about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in half. 46 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And when he had spoken these words, he gave up the ghost.🙏
