Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:1-56

Luke 23:12 . The same day Pilate and Herod were made friends. This occurrence is quoted in Acts 4:27, as an accomplishment of the prophecy in the second psalm. Luke 23:22 . He said to them the third time I have found no cause of death in him. Then Pilate was thrice weak, and thrice wicked, to condemn him to the cross. He was unworthy of any comparison with Gallio, who drove away the jews, and would be no judge of their questions. Luke 23:43 . To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.... read more

Luke 23:34Father, forgive them, for they know notThe unknown depths of sinI.HOW DO SINNERS COME AT THEIR NOTION THAT SIN IS SO TRIFLING AN AFFAIR? 1. They have a very limited view of their own feelings and purposes while in a course of sin; and infer that they cannot be very guilty, because they have never been conscious of a very evil intention. 2.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:34

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Ver. 34. Father, forgive them ] See the sweet mercy of Christ, mindful and careful of his enemies when the pains of hell had taken hold of him, and they, like so many breathing devils, were tormenting him.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Luke 23:34

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.Then said Jesus — Our Lord passed most of the time on the cross in silence: yet seven sentences which he spoke thereon are recorded by the four evangelists, though no one evangelist has recorded them all.
