John 19:32 Cross References - AUV

³² So, the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first [criminal] and then of the other man crucified with Jesus.

³⁹ Then one of the criminals, who was hanging [on a cross also] spoke abusively to Him, saying, “Are you not the Christ [i.e., God’s specially chosen one]? [If you are], then save yourself and us.” ⁴⁰ But the other criminal spoke harshly to the first one, saying, “Do you not even have any fear of God [left], since you [too] are experiencing the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹ And for us it is truly a just sentence, for we are getting back what we deserve for our actions, but this man has not done anything wrong.” ⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember [to be merciful to] me when you come into your kingdom.” ⁴³ Then Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise [Note: This is a place in God’s presence, referred to as “the third heaven” (II Cor. 12:2-4), and where overcomers will be able to eat from “the tree of life” (Rev. 2:7)].”
