#Luke 23:34: “Then said Jesus, Father, #forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

Psalms 78:38: “But he, [being] full of #compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.”

1John 1:7 But if we walk in the #light, as he is in the light, we have #fellowship one with another, and the blood of #Jesus #Christ his Son #cleanseth us from all #sin.

#Psalms 51:7: “Purge me with #hyssop, and I shall be #clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than #snow.”

The word in #Greek for #forgiveness is #aphes which means to send away, leave alone, depart or release and pardon.

The word in #Aramaic is #shavaq which is the word used for divorce, the ending of a marriage as well as pardon.

In #Hebrew, the word for forgiveness is #chaphar which means to cover up or cover over and pardon.

#All these words have the idea of a pardon. In a sense what Jesus was saying when He said: “Father forgive them” was that he was granting them a pardon.
