What does the Bible say about Jesus' first words from the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' first words from the cross were, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'

In Luke 23:34, Jesus expresses profound compassion and intercession for those who are crucifying Him, stating, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' This moment reveals His mercy even in the face of extreme suffering. The significance of this statement lies in the understanding of Christ as our great high priest, who empathizes with human ignorance and sin, making intercession for us despite our unworthiness.
