Jesus knew that His death was imminent and that He would soon be in heaven with His Father. Therefore, Jesus used paradise as a synonym for heaven, and the word has come to be associated with any place of ideal loveliness and delight.
Alam ni Hesus na nalalapit na ang Kanyang kamatayan at tutungo na Siya sa langit sa Kanyang Ama. Tinukoy ni Hesus ang paraiso na kasing kahulugan ng langit. Ang salitang ito ay nakilala bilang isang lugar ng perpektong kagandahan at kasiyahan.
