"Weep not for me but for yourselves and for your children." (Luke 23:28)
"Father, forgive them." (23:34)
"Today you will be with me in paradise." (23:43)
Luke continues to show Jesus, even in his passion, as compassionate and merciful as he pictured Jesus in his lifetime. Dante called Luke "the scribe of the gentleness of Jesus." He shows God's love, forgiveness, and healing already present in the passion. Forgiveness is offered even before repentance.
