When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there, with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. And the people stood by, watching, but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him, 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 railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, when you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said to Jesus, “Remember me, when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
