Jesus was dead in his grave, the thief was dead somewhere else. "Today" meant the same thing it means to all in final throes of death, namely, "the next thing you know." Why make a mystery out of this? Resurrection is mystery enough.

Subject: [asa] A Good Friday Question
We all know the story of the thief on the cross. He was told, ". today you will be with me in paradise".(Luke 23:43). That day was Friday when Jesus died. Three days later Jesus was resurrected. After the resurrection Jesus told Mary, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father" (John 20:17). So where was Jesus and where did the thief go when they both died on that Friday?
