023:034 Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they are doing." And they divided His garments among them,
drawing lots for them;
023:035 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered
their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others:
let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One."
023:036 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering
Him sour wine and saying,
023:037 "Are *you* the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
023:038 There was moreover a writing over His head:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
023:039 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him,
saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
023:040 But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God,"
he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
023:041 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due
requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
023:042 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
023:043 "I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day
you shall be with me in Paradise."
