Luke 23:34-36

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they are doing.”^[a]

The soldiers threw dice to divide Jesus’ clothes between them. ³⁵ The people stood there watching everything. The Jewish leaders laughed at Jesus. They said, “If he is God’s Chosen One, the Messiah, then let him save himself. He saved others, didn’t he?”

³⁶ Even the soldiers laughed at Jesus and made fun of him. They came and offered him some sour wine.
