New Testament

Luke 23:41-48 Amplified Bible (AMP)

41. And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our actions; but this Man has done nothing out of the way [nothing strange or eccentric or perverse or unreasonable].

42. Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingly glory!

43. And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.

44. It was now about the sixth hour (midday), and darkness enveloped the whole land and earth until the ninth hour (about three o'clock in the afternoon),

45. While the sun's light faded or was darkened; and the curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two. [Exod. 26:31-35.]

46. And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit! And with these words, He expired. [Ps. 31:5.]

47. Now the centurion, having seen what had taken place, recognized God and thanked and praised Him, and said, Indeed, without question, this Man was upright (just and innocent)!

48. And all the throngs that had gathered to see this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned to their homes, beating their breasts.
