Jesus’ prayer of forgiveness

 

 

On the cross, Jesus prayed to God, “Father, forgive them,

for they do not know what they are doing” (Lk. 23:34),

For the Jews who crucified Jesus on the cross (v. 23),

which meant He was cursed by God (Dt. 21:23; Gal. 3:13) Even though He was innocent and without sin (Lk. 23:4, 14-16, 22).
