Jesus' Words to the Thief

0:00 Here are five of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible about death. Number one, the thief on the cross. Didn't Jesus offer the thief on the cross immediate access to heaven? What's really fascinating is that Jesus himself said that he never went to heaven when he rose from the grave. In John 20, 17. Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father, he told Mary. So what does Jesus mean? The actual statement of Jesus to the thief was this. But in the original language, there was not any commas. So the authors inserted a comma directly. It should read, Thou shalt be with me in paradise.
