What does the Bible say about the prayer of the dying thief?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible records a profound exchange between the dying thief and Jesus, where the thief asks to be remembered in Jesus' kingdom, and Jesus promises him paradise.

In Luke 23:42-43, the dying thief acknowledges his sin and pleads with Jesus, saying, 'Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.' This request is a recognition of both his guilt and the sovereignty of Christ. Jesus, in His response, assures him, 'Verily, I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.' This exchange emphasizes the immediacy of salvation accessible even at the last moment, reflecting the sovereign grace of God.
