38 aAnd an inscription also was1 written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 aThen one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying,1 “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done anothing wrong.”
42 Then he said1 to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
Jesus Dies on the Cross
44 aNow it1 was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 Then the sun was1 darkened, and athe veil of the temple was torn in2 two.
