The English word, "Paradise," occurs only three times in the King James Version of the Bible.  All three occurrences are in the New Testament (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible – Ref. 1 below).  

All of the Bible verses below are quoted from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) courtesy of the BibleGateway.com website (Ref. 2). 

"Paradise" in the New Testament

Paradise in Greek is paradeisos (par-ad'-i-sos), which is "an ancient Persian word meaning 'enclosure, garden, park'" (Ref. 3).  Paradise is mentioned in Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 12:4, and Revelation 2:7.

Luke 23:42-43
"And he was saying, 'Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!'  43 And He said to him, 'Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'"

     Paradise is where believers will be with Jesus after death (Ref. 4).

2 Corinthians 12:2-4
"I know a man in Christ, who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven.  3 And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows-- 4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak."

Revelation 2:7
"The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God."
