Luke 23:34-36

New Testament for Everyone

³⁴ “Father,” said Jesus, “forgive them! They don’t know what they’re doing!”

They divided his clothes, casting lots for them.

³⁵ The people stood around watching. The rulers hurled abuse at him.

“He rescued others,” they said, “let him try rescuing himself, if he really is the Messiah, God’s chosen one!”

³⁶ The soldiers added their taunts, coming up and offering him cheap wine.
