Luke

Luke 23:32–39

³²Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

³³When they came to the place called The Skull,^d they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”^e And they divided up His garments by casting lots.^f

³⁵The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him,^g saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

³⁶The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.^h ³⁷“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

³⁸Above Him was posted an inscription:ⁱ

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
