Bible Note: the original greek text does not have any punctuation, the comma was put in there by the translators. therefore it could either be "Verily I say unto thee today, shalt thou be with me in paradise." or "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise." so this text (Luke 23:43) is inconclusive, and is easily swayed by ones preconcieved ideas(also one text on its own is always inconclusive anyhow, we should look for the teaching of the bible as a whole). it is relevant to note that Jesus seems to often not bother about the details of how and when but he emphasises the certainty of an event. |
