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 (B)nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [b]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 (C)Paradise.”

Jesus Dies on the Cross(D)

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