CHAPTER SEVEN<br />
CREATION OF PARADISE<br />
In Luke 23:43 Jesus has a conversation with one of those crucified with him, he asks: “Jesus,<br />
remember me when you come into your kingdom" and Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you<br />
today you will be with me in paradise.”;<br />
The above statement have been translated in two ways depending on the position of the<br />
coma.<br />
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.”;<br />
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”;<br />
For example the two early Syriac versions translate Luke 23:43 differently.<br />
The Curetonian Gospels read "Today I tell you that you will be with me in paradise".<br />
The Sinaitic Palimpsest reads "I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise".<br />
Likewise the two earliest Greek codices with punctuation disagree:<br />
Codex Vaticanus has a pause mark in the original ink after 'today',<br />
whereas Codex Alexandrinus has the "today in paradise" reading.<br />
