And Jesus replied, "I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise." [Luke 23:43]
When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, "Woman, he is your son." And he said to this disciple, "She is your mother." And from then on this disciple took her into his home. [John 19:26-27]
Jesus knew that everything was now finished, and to fulfill the Scriptures he said, "I am thirsty." A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. [John 19:28-30]
Then Jesus shouted, "Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!" And with those words he breathed his last. [Luke 23:46]
He forgave of those who did not believe, he gave assurance to those that did believe, he moved with compassion on those who followed, and then he took on the pain and suffering of the world.
