Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka Luke 23

Yabelana

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they don’t know what they are doing.” The soldiers threw lots to decide who would get his clothes.

Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, I give you my life.” After Jesus said this, he died.

When they came to a place called the Skull, the soldiers crucified Jesus and the criminals—one on his right and the other on his left.

It was about noon, and the whole land became dark until three o’clock in the afternoon, because the sun did not shine. The curtain in the Temple was torn in two.

When the army officer there saw what happened, he praised God, saying, “Surely this was a good man!”
