Luke 23:39-43

GOD’S WORD Translation

Criminals Talk to Jesus

³⁹ One of the criminals hanging there insulted Jesus by saying, “So you’re really the Messiah, are you? Well, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other criminal scolded him: “Don’t you fear God at all? Can’t you see that you’re condemned in the same way that he is? ⁴¹ Our punishment is fair. We’re getting what we deserve. But this man hasn’t done anything wrong.”

⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus said to him, “I can guarantee this truth: Today you will be with me in paradise.”
