Luke 23:42

40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
