NASB | Luke 23:43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 23:43 Jesus said to him, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." [2 Cor 12:4; Rev 2:7] |
Subject: Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? |
Bible Note: And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43) Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. (John 20:17) These are the two Scriptures I mentioned in my post. As you can see in the Scripture in John Jesus had not as yet ascended to the Father yet He had already been to Paradise as of Luke's Scripture. Aparently here Paradise does not refer to heaven. |
