What does the Bible say about forgiveness from Jesus on the cross?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus, while on the cross, asked the Father to forgive those who crucified Him, demonstrating His role as our mediator.

While on the cross, Jesus cried out, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do' (Luke 23:34). This statement not only reflects Jesus' profound compassion and mercy but also underscores His identity as the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). The act of forgiveness was rooted in His sacrificial death, where He bore the sins of His people, thus enabling reconciliation with God. This declaration from the cross highlights the sovereign grace of God, assuring believers that those for whom Christ intercedes are indeed forgiven, as His mediation is powerful and effective.
