LUKE 23:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”
Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided up his clothes by casting lots — Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing: the first word from the cross in Luke. The prayer for the forgiveness of the executioners is the application of the love-of-enemies teaching at the moment of its ultimate test. They do not know: the ignorance as the ground for the forgiveness petition.
