Henry Grew told the people already in 1835 in the article "THE INTERMEDIATE STATE".
You can read the entire text of the URL address:

Lu 23:43. “And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, to-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
In the "Improved Version" * of the New Testament this passage is marked as Doubtful. Neither of the other evangelists record it. If it is genuine, the Greek does not Require the pointing of our version. In the margin, though not in the text Griesbach** has the comma after to-day. We may under stand our Lord as saying, "Verily, verily I say unto thee to-day," & c. What was the request of the dying thief? "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."
* 1808 Thomas Belsham create translation: "The New Testament, in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome's New Translation: With a Corrected Text and Notes Critical and Explanatory"

The article of Henry Grew is most interesting. He had found out a lot of things just by studying the Bible. It is amazing how simple things can be if we keep studying the Bible and meditating on the scriptures with an open mind, like the Bereans did when Paul and Silas preached to them:
"11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. 12 As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men."
Acts 17 (New Living Translation)
