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."
