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, his chosen one! The
soldiers also mocked him, 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
him,This is the King of the Jews.
One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding
him 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 into* your kingdom. He
replied, Truly I tell you, today you will be with
me in Paradise.
