Since the the Greek didn’t have a comma here, how does a person decide where to put it?

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.

Finally, some one who agrees with me regarding the arbitrary placing of the comma. Since there was no punctuation in the Greek, we get to place the comma wherever we want.

Btw, do you believe there were three crucified or five? Could it have been two thieves, Jesus, and two malefactors, making a total of five with Jesus in the middle?

If put there, why there rather than before “today”?
