Luke 23:33, 39-43
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
When the soldiers came to the place called the Skull,
they crucified
Jesus and the criminals there,
one on his right, the other on his left.
Now one of the criminals hanging there
reviled Jesus, saying,
"Are
you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us."
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,
"Have you no fear
of God,
for you are subject to the same condemnation?
And indeed, we have been condemned justly,
for the sentence we received
corresponds to our crimes,
but this man has done nothing criminal."
Then he said,
"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
He replied to him,
"Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me
in Paradise."
The Gospel of the Lord.
