40But the other criminal hanging on a cross said, “Don’t talk like that. Have a bit of respect for God. Listen, they are killing the 3 of us together.
41They are killing you and me because we did really bad things, but this man, Jesus, he didn’t do anything wrong.”
42Then that criminal talked to Jesus. He said, “Hey, Jesus, you are going to get God’s people together into one family. When you do that, don’t forget me. I want to be there with you too.”
43Jesus said, “Yes, you will be with me today, in God’s good place called Paradise. That’s for sure.”
