The Seven Words from the Cross.

When one pulls together the four gospels, these are the seven recorded sayings of Jesus before He died. Many Christians will know them, but for those who don't and for other readers, see below. They also help to create a chronological picture of the events on Good Friday. There are a substantial number of scholars who would dispute this, I'm not one of them!

1.  Father forgive them, for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34).

2. Truly, I say to you, today you will  be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43).

3. Woman, behold your son: behold your mother (John 19:26-27).

4. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?, (Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:3; Psalm 22:1; ).

5.  I thirst (John 19:28).

6. It is finished (John 19:30; Psalm 22:31b).

7. Father, into your hands I commit my spirit (Luke 23:46).
