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: That would be a problem since Jesus didn't ascend to heaven that day. He was in the tomb for 3 days and didn't actually ascend to heaven for some time after that. The King James Version failed to used correct punctuation in translating this verse. There should have been a comma after today which changes the meaning totally. When the thief is resurrected to a paradise earth, ruled by Jesus, he will then in a sense be with Jesus in paradise. |
