Luke 23:32-49

New King James Version

^32 (A)There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. ³³ And ^(B)when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. ^34 [a]Then Jesus said, “Father, ^(C)forgive them, for ^(D)they do not know what they do.”

And ^(E)they divided His garments and cast lots. ³⁵ And ^(F)the people stood looking on. But even the ^(G)rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him ^(H)sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

^38 (I)And an inscription also was ^[b]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^39 (J)Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, ^[c]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done ^(K)nothing wrong.” ⁴² Then he said ^[d]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^(L)Paradise.”

Jesus Dies on the Cross^(M)

^44 (N)Now it ^[e]was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ Then the sun was ^[f]darkened, and ^(O)the veil of the temple was torn in ^[g]two. ⁴⁶ And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ^(P)‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” ^(Q)Having said this, He breathed His last.

^47 (R)So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”

⁴⁸ And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. ^49 (S)But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
