Exegesis
The adverb sēmeron {σήμερον | sḗ-me-ron} appears directly before the future verb esē {ἔσῃ | é-sē}, so the most natural syntactic reading takes it with the promise “you will be,” rather than modifying “I say,” thereby stressing the immediacy of fulfillment.
In context — Luke 23:43
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in paradise .”
