The Seven Last Words of Jesus on the Cross |
|
|
"Father, forgive these people because they don’t know what they are doing." |
|
|
"I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise" |
|
|
Speaking to John and Mary, "Woman, he is you son.… She is your mother." |
|
|
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" |
|
|
"I am thirsty." |
|
|
"It is finished." |
|
|
"Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!" |
|

The statements that Jesus made from the cross have been treasured by all who have followed him as Lord. They demonstrate both his humanity and his divinity. They also capture the last moments of all that Jesus went through to gain our forgiveness. |
