Luke 23:33-43

Listen to Luke 23:33-43
33 And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.
34 And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
35 And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.
36 And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine
37 And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
38 And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS
39 And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.
40 But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
41 And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
43 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

Father Forgive Them 2
Father Forgive Them 2
Tim Kelley

These are probably the most significant of all of Jesus words; they call this entire passage the 'The 7 Words of the Cross.' It must be understood, that by this time, the physical pain Jesus had endured was excruciating. To talk, because of the nature of crucifixion, was painful, not to mention the torn flesh from the scourging. This verse separates the Christian faith from all others. The world is a world of equity and consequences, eye for a eye, pain for pain – justice. Jesus changed all that. He said "Father forgive them."
