Commentary

Approximately 5% of our manuscripts of the New Testament omit or have doubts about Luke 23:34; thus 95% of all the manuscripts of the New Testament, stretching from at least the 5th century to 16th century contain this reading.

Clementine Homily XI

Clementine Homily XI:(died in 99 A.D. disciple of St. Peter)

prayed to the Father that the sin of those who slew Him might be forgiven, saying, `Father, forgive them their sins, for they know not what they do.’

Of the Journeyings of Philip the Apostle

Of the Journeyings of Philip the Apostle (1st Century A.D.):

was made to drink gall and vinegar, and said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians

Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians (35-110 A.D.): but prayed for His enemies, "Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.”

Tatian

Tatian (170’s) had the sentence in his Diatessaron, which is shown by three citations in Ephrem Syrus’ Commentary on the Diatessaron (360 A.D.).

Hegesippus

Hegesippus (170’s) recorded, according to Eusebius in Ecclesiastical History Book Two (chapter 23), that when James the Just was killed after being thrown from a tower, he prayed:

"“I entreat you, Lord God our Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

The same anecdote is recorded by Epiphanius (375 A.D.) in Panarion 77 (Antidicomanians 14:5).

Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III (180 A.D.) mentions the passage twice; in chapter 16, he alludes to Jesus’ prayer that His Father would forgive those who crucified Him; in chapter 18 he quotes Jesus’ words:

And from this fact, that He exclaimed upon the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,”

Pseudo-Ignatius

Pseudo-Ignatius, in the late 100’s, stated that Jesus prayed for His enemies:

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Hippolytus of Rome

Hippolytus of Rome (170-235 A.D.):

"Wherefore "they that sit in the gate spoke against me," for they crucified me without the gate. "And they that drink sang against me," that is, (they who drink wine) at the feast of the passover. "But as for me, in my prayer unto Thee, O Lord, I said, Father, forgive them," namely the Gentiles, because it is the time for favor with Gentiles." ^{("Expository Treatise against the Jews," Ante-Nicene, Vol. 5.)}

Hippolytus (early 200’s) uses the passage in Contra Judaeos 3, in the course of interpreting Psalm 69. Hippolytus points out that when Jesus said, “Father, forgive them,” those to be forgiven were the Gentiles. The authorship of Contra Judaeos is disputed; however, Hippolytus also quoted the passage in The Blessings of Jacob and Isaac, in the course of comments about Genesis 27.

Syriac Didascalia

The Syriac Didascalia (250 A.D.) includes the following statement paraphrased as:

“Our Savior made supplication to His Father for those who had sinned, as it is written in the Gospel, ‘My Father, they know not what they do, nor what they speak; yet if it be possible, forgive them.”

Origen

Origen (230-250), as translated by Rufinus (in Latin), appears to cite the passage in part of his Homily on Leviticus; but this may be a parenthetical comment inserted by Rufinus. Origen appears to utilize the passage in De Pascha 2:43, which is a text found among the Tura Papyri and published in 1979.

Archelaus

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes (262 A.D); He compares Jesus’ prayer to Moses’ prayer for Pharaoh and the Egyptians:

and here, our Lord Jesus prayed that the Pharisees might be pardoned, when He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Eusebius of Caesarea

Eusebius of Caesarea (330 A. D.) included the passage in his canon-tables, in Canon Ten.

Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II

Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II (375-380 A.D.), which depends at some points upon the Syriac Didascalia, have:

For our Saviour Himself entreated His Father for those who had sinned, as it is written in the Gospel: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V

Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V (375-380 A.D.) which depends at some points upon the Syriac Didascalia, have:

And a little afterward, when He had cried with a loud voice, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,”

Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate

Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate, chapter 10, uses Jesus’ words in Luke 23:34a along with some of the surrounding text of Luke:

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Father, let not this sin stand against them; for they know not what they do.

Recognitions of Clement VI

Recognitions of Clement VI: Wherefore, in short, the Master Himself, when He was being led to the cross by those who knew Him not, prayed the Father for His murderers, and said, `Father, forgive their sin, for they know not what they do!'

Ambrose The Prayer of Job and David

Ambrose (340-397 A.D.) in the 4th century: The Prayer of Job and David:

"Indeed, had they known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of majesty and would never still be pursuing their Jewish follies. They, then, are the ones who know not. For this reason also the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." [1]^{(Commentary on Job, cites this passage twice (in 2:6 and 5:12))}

Chrysostom

Chrysostom (347-407 A.D.): "For indeed . . . great miracles did He show forth, when lifted up, turning aside the sunbeams, bursting the rocks, raising the dead, frightening by dreams the wife of him that was judging Him, at the very judgment showing forth all meekness (which was of power not less than miracles to gain them over), forewarning them of countless things in the judgment hall; on the very cross crying aloud, "Father, forgive them their sin." ^{(Homily LXXIX on Matthew, Nicene and Post-Nicene, series 1, Vol. 10.)}

Jerome – Epistle 120 – To Hedibia

Jerome (347 - 420 A.D.)– Epistle 120 – To Hedibia

We even see that the Savior loved this city so much that the misfortunes which threatened it elicited tears from His eyes; when He was crucified, He said to His Father, “Forgive them, Father, because they do know what they do.” [2] ^{(English translation by James Snapp, Jr. via Google Translate)}

"I can return bite for bite, if I like; when hurt myself, I can fix my teeth in my opponent. I too have had a liberal education. . . . But I prefer to be a disciple of Him who says, "I gave my back to the smiters... I hid not my face from shame and spitting." When He was reviled He reviled not again. After the buffeting, the cross, the scourge, the blasphemies, at the very last He prayed for His crucifiers, saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." I, too, pardon the error of a brother." ^{("Letter 50: To Domnio," Nicene and Post-Nicene, series 2, Vol. 6.)}

St. Aurelius Augustine

St. Aurelius Augustine (354-430 A.D.):

"Let them be turned backward and put to shame that wish me evil." "Turned backwards." Let us not take this in a bad sense. He wishes them well; and it is His voice, who said from the Cross, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Wherefore then doth he, say to them, that they should return "backwards"? ^{(Exposition of Ps. 40, in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, Vol. 8.)}

Pseudo-Clementines

Pseudo-Clementines: "For the Teacher Himself, being nailed to the cross, prayed to the Father that the sin of those who slew Him might be forgiven, saying, "Father, forgive them their sins, for they know not what they do." They also therefore, being imitators of the Teacher in their sufferings, pray for those who contrive them, as they have been taught." ^{(Clementine Homilies," Homily XI, Ch. 20, Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 8).}

Oecumenius

In Asia Minor, Oecumenius, 600 A.D. penned his commentary on Revelation. Under Revelation 7, Oecumenius cites the sentence and mentions:

“Although Cyril, in the thirteenth book of Against Julian, says that this prayer of the Lord is not found in the Gospels, we use it nevertheless.”

Cyril of Alexandria seems to be the only writer who questions the reading.

Schaff's Popular Commentary on the New Testament

Luke 23:34. And Jesus said. During the act of crucifixion, as it would appear from the language which follows. This first of the seven words on the cross, preserved by Luke alone, is perhaps the one best adapted to ‘draw all men’ unto Him ‘when lifted up.’

Father, forgive them. Even in the act of crucifixion He speaks as ‘Son of God!’ And thus offering Himself, He also intercedes, performing His twofold priestly work. Comp. Isaiah 53:12 : ‘He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.’ ‘Them’ refers, first of all, to the four soldiers who actually crucified Him, since they are spoken of in all the other clauses. It is true they only obeyed orders; but Luke 23:36-37 show that they had a certain pleasure in their cruel duty. They acted as the agents, directly, of the Jewish rulers, in a wider sense, of the Jewish nation, and most widely and truly of mankind. All sinners conspired to nail Him there.

For they know not what they do. Comp. Acts 3:17. This is the motive, not the ground, for forgiveness. Ignorance may diminish guilt, but does not remove it, else no prayer for forgiveness would be needed. It is one design of this record, showing us the forgiving love of our Lord as He died for the sins of men, to awaken in men, through the application of it by the Holy Spirit, a knowledge of what they do as sinners in nailing Him to the cross, that they may repent and be forgiven for His sake. The prayer is only for those who in some way help in the great crime. Those who deny that they are sinners deny that it is for them.—The whole prayer is omitted in a few manuscripts, but it is regarded as genuine by all modem critics.^{Schaff, Philip. 1879-90.}

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(34) Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.--Again, the silence is broken, not by the cry of anguish or sigh of passionate complaint, but by words of tenderest pity and intercession. It is well, however, that we should remember who were the primary direct objects of that prayer. Not Pilate, for he knew that he had condemned the innocent; not the chief priests and scribes, for their sin, too, was against light and knowledge. Those for whom our Lord then prayed were clearly the soldiers who nailed Him to the cross, to whom the work was but that which they were, as they deemed, bound to do as part of their duty. It is, however, legitimate to think of His intercession as including, in its ultimate extension, all who in any measure sin against God as not knowing what they do, who speak or act against the Son of Man without being guilty of the sin against the Holy Ghost. (See Note on Acts 3:17.)

Expositor's Greek Testament

Luke 23:34. Πάτερ, etc.: a prayer altogether true to the spirit of Jesus, therefore, though reported by Lk. alone, intrinsically credible. It is with sincere regret that one is compelled, by its omission in important MSS., to regard its genuineness as subject to a certain amount of doubt. In favour of it is its conformity with the whole aim of Lk. in his Gospel, which is to exhibit the graciousness of Jesus.—διαμεριζόμενοι, etc., and parting His garments they cast lots = they divided His garments by casting lots.

Robertson, M.A., L.L.D. 1897-1910.}

American Standard Version

34 [a]And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

Footnotes:

Luke 23:34 Some ancient authorities omit And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

New King James Version

34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”[a] And they divided His garments and cast lots.

Footnotes:

Luke 23:34 NU-Text brackets the first sentence as a later addition.

New International Version

The 1984 New International Version (no longer in print), had the sentence in the text, with a footnote stating:

Some early manuscripts do not have this sentence.

New American Standard Bible

New Living Translation

This sentence is not included in many ancient manuscripts.

The many here is represented by about twelve manuscripts. It seems strange and rather deceptive that the 1500 manuscripts that include the reading would not be called many here.

English Standard Version

The English Standard Version has a footnote, stating that:

Some manuscripts” omit the sentence.

Dan Wallace

Dan Wallace's NET version includes the words but he [brackets] them, indicating strong doubt, and then has confusing footnotes that cast doubt on whether these words are inspired Scripture or not:

"Many important mss. (1א B D* W Θ 070 579 1241 pc sys sa) lack v. 34a. It is included in א*,2(A) C D2 L Ψ 0250 Ë1,(13) 33 Ï lat syc, p, h. It also fits a major Lukan theme of forgiving the enemies (6:27-36), and it has a parallel in Stephen’s response in Acts 7:60. The lack of parallels in the other Gospels argues also for inclusion here. On the other hand, the fact of the parallel in Acts 7:60 may well have prompted early scribes to insert the saying in Luke’s Gospel alone. Further, there is the great difficulty of explaining why early and diverse witnesses lack the saying. A decision is difficult, but even those who regard the verse as inauthentic literarily often consider it to be authentic historically. For this reason it has been placed in single brackets in the translation."

Bruce Metzger

Bruce Metzger said:

“The absence of these words from such early and diverse witnesses as (he names the manuscripts) is most impressive and can scarcely be explained as a deliberate excision by copyists who, considering the fall of Jerusalem to be proof that God had not forgiven the Jews, could not allow it to appear that the prayer of Jesus has remained unanswered. At the same time, the logion (a saying of Jesus), though probably not part of the original Gospel of Luke, bears self-evident tokens of its dominical origin, and was retained, within double square brackets in its traditional place where it has been incorportated by unknown copyists relatively early in the transmission of the Third Gospel.” ^{page 154 a textual commentary on the Greek New Testament}

Leon Morris

Leon Morris states:

“Early copyists may have been tempted to omit the words by reflection that perhaps God had not forgiven the guilty nation. The events of 70 AD and afterwards may well have looked like anything but forgiveness. We should regard the words as genuine” ^{(Luke, p. 327).}

Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th edition

The editors of the 27th edition of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece put it within double-brackets, meaning, according to the Nestle-Aland Introduction, that the words within the brackets “Are known not to be a part of the original text.”

Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 28th edition

NA 28 explains that double brackets

“indicate that the enclosed words , generally of some length, are known not to be part of the original text. These texts derive from a very early stage of the tradition, and have often played a significant role in the history of the church (cf. Jn 7,53-8,11)” (p. 55).

+====Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians====
+Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians (35-110 A.D.): but prayed for His enemies, "'''<u>Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.</u>'''”
+====Tatian====
+Tatian (170’s) had the sentence in his Diatessaron, which is shown by three citations in Ephrem Syrus’ Commentary on the Diatessaron ([[360 A.D.]]).
+====Hegesippus====
+Hegesippus (170’s) recorded, according to Eusebius in Ecclesiastical History Book Two (chapter 23), that when James the Just was killed after being thrown from a tower, he prayed:
+:"'''<u>“I entreat you, Lord God our Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.</u>'''”
+The same anecdote is recorded by Epiphanius ([[375 A.D.]]) in Panarion 77 (Antidicomanians 14:5).
+====Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III====
+Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III ([[180 A.D.]]) mentions the passage twice; in chapter 16, he alludes to Jesus’ prayer that His Father would forgive those who crucified Him; in chapter 18 he quotes Jesus’ words:
+:And from this fact, that He exclaimed upon the cross, "'''<u>Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,</u>'''”
+====Pseudo-Ignatius====
+Pseudo-Ignatius, in the late 100’s, stated that Jesus prayed for His enemies:
+:“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
+====Hippolytus of Rome====
+Hippolytus of Rome (170-235 A.D.):
+:"Wherefore "they that sit in the gate spoke against me," for they crucified me without the gate. "And they that drink sang against me," that is, (they who drink wine) at the feast of the passover. "But as for me, in my prayer unto Thee, O Lord, I said, '''<u>Father, forgive them,</u>'''" namely the Gentiles, because it is the time for favor with Gentiles." <sup>("Expository Treatise against the Jews," Ante-Nicene, Vol. 5.)</sup>
+Hippolytus (early 200’s) uses the passage in Contra Judaeos 3, in the course of interpreting Psalm 69.  Hippolytus points out that when Jesus said, “Father, forgive them,” those to be forgiven were the Gentiles.  The authorship of Contra Judaeos is disputed; however, Hippolytus also quoted the passage in The Blessings of Jacob and Isaac, in the course of comments about [[Genesis 27]].
+====Syriac Didascalia====
+The Syriac Didascalia ([[250 A.D.]]) includes the following statement paraphrased as:
+:“Our Savior made supplication to His Father for those who had sinned, as it is written in the Gospel, ‘My Father, they know not what they do, nor what they speak; yet if it be possible, forgive them.”
+====Origen====
+Origen (230-250), as translated by Rufinus (in [[Latin]]), appears to cite the passage in part of his Homily on [[Leviticus]]; but this may be a parenthetical comment inserted by [[Rufinus]].  Origen appears to utilize the passage in De Pascha 2:43, which is a text found among the Tura Papyri and published in 1979.
+====Archelaus====
+Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes (262 A.D); He compares Jesus’ prayer to Moses’ prayer for Pharaoh and the Egyptians:
+:and here, our Lord Jesus prayed that the Pharisees might be pardoned, when He said, "'''<u>Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.</u>'''”

+====Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V====
+Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V (375-380 A.D.) which depends at some points upon the Syriac Didascalia, have:
+:And a little afterward, when He had cried with a loud voice, "'''<u>Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,</u>'''”
+====Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate====
+Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate, chapter 10, uses Jesus’ words in Luke 23:34a along with some of the surrounding text of Luke:
+:Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: '''<u>Father, let not this sin stand against them; for they know not what they do.</u>'''
+====Recognitions of Clement VI====
+Recognitions of Clement VI: Wherefore, in short, the Master Himself, when He was being led to the cross by those who knew Him not, prayed the Father for His murderers, and said, `'''<u>Father, forgive their sin, for they know not what they do!</u>''''
+====Ambrose The Prayer of Job and David====
+Ambrose (340-397 A.D.) in the 4th century:  The Prayer of Job and David:
+:"Indeed, had they known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of majesty and would never still be pursuing their Jewish follies. They, then, are the ones who know not. For this reason also the Lord Jesus says in the Gospel, "'''<u>Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.</u>'''" [http://books.google.com/books?id=A7a3JIUGbcEC&pg=PA336]<sup>(Commentary on Job, cites this passage twice (in 2:6 and 5:12))</sup>
+====Chrysostom====
+Chrysostom (347-407 A.D.):
+"For indeed . . . great miracles did He show forth, when lifted up, turning aside the sunbeams, bursting the rocks, raising the dead, frightening by dreams the wife of him that was judging Him, at the very judgment showing forth all meekness (which was of power not less than miracles to gain them over), forewarning them of countless things in the judgment hall; on the very cross crying aloud, "'''<u>Father, forgive them their sin.</u>'''" <sup>(Homily LXXIX on Matthew, Nicene and Post-Nicene, series 1, Vol. 10.)</sup>
+====Jerome – Epistle 120 – To Hedibia====
+Jerome (347 - 420 A.D.)– Epistle 120 – To Hedibia
+:We even see that the Savior loved this city so much that the misfortunes which threatened it elicited tears from His eyes; when He was crucified, He said to His Father, “'''<u>Forgive them, Father, because they do know what they do.</u>'''” [http://m.ccel.org/.../files/jerome_hedibia_2_trans.htm] <sup>(English translation by James Snapp, Jr. via Google Translate)</sup>
+:"I can return bite for bite, if I like; when hurt myself, I can fix my teeth in my opponent. I too have had a liberal education. . . . But I prefer to be a disciple of Him who says, "I gave my back to the smiters... I hid not my face from shame and spitting." When He was reviled He reviled not again. After the buffeting, the cross, the scourge, the blasphemies, at the very last He prayed for His crucifiers, saying, "'''<u>Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.</u>'''" I, too, pardon the error of a brother." <sup>("Letter 50: To Domnio," Nicene and Post-Nicene, series 2, Vol. 6.)</sup>
+====St. Aurelius Augustine====
+St. Aurelius Augustine (354-430 A.D.):
+:"Let them be turned backward and put to shame that wish me evil." "Turned backwards." Let us not take this in a bad sense. He wishes them well; and it is His voice, who said from the Cross, "'''<u>Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.</u>'''" Wherefore then doth he, say to them, that they should return "backwards"? <sup>(Exposition of Ps. 40, in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, Vol. 8.)</sup>
+====Pseudo-Clementines====
+Pseudo-Clementines:
+"For the Teacher Himself, being nailed to the cross, prayed to the Father that the sin of those who slew Him might be forgiven, saying, "'''<u>Father, forgive them their sins, for they know not what they do.</u>'''" They also therefore, being imitators of the Teacher in their sufferings, pray for those who contrive them, as they have been taught." <sup>(Clementine Homilies," Homily XI, Ch. 20, Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 8).</sup>
+====Oecumenius====
+In Asia Minor, Oecumenius, 600 A.D. penned his commentary on Revelation.  Under Revelation 7, Oecumenius cites the sentence and mentions:
+:“Although Cyril, in the thirteenth book of Against Julian, says that this prayer of the Lord is not found in the Gospels, we use it nevertheless.”
+Cyril of Alexandria seems to be the only writer who questions the reading.
+====Schaff's Popular Commentary on the New Testament====
+:Luke 23:34. And Jesus said. During the act of crucifixion, as it would appear from the language which follows. This first of the seven words on the cross, preserved by Luke alone, is perhaps the one best adapted to ‘draw all men’ unto Him ‘when lifted up.’
+:Father, forgive them. Even in the act of crucifixion He speaks as ‘Son of God!’ And thus offering Himself, He also intercedes, performing His twofold priestly work. Comp. Isaiah 53:12 : ‘He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.’ ‘Them’ refers, first of all, to the four soldiers who actually crucified Him, since they are spoken of in all the other clauses. It is true they only obeyed orders; but Luke 23:36-37 show that they had a certain pleasure in their cruel duty. They acted as the agents, directly, of the Jewish rulers, in a wider sense, of the Jewish nation, and most widely and truly of mankind. All sinners conspired to nail Him there.
+:For they know not what they do. Comp. Acts 3:17. This is the motive, not the ground, for forgiveness. Ignorance may diminish guilt, but does not remove it, else no prayer for forgiveness would be needed. It is one design of this record, showing us the forgiving love of our Lord as He died for the sins of men, to awaken in men, through the application of it by the Holy Spirit, a knowledge of what they do as sinners in nailing Him to the cross, that they may repent and be forgiven for His sake. The prayer is only for those who in some way help in the great crime. Those who deny that they are sinners deny that it is for them.—The whole prayer is omitted in a few manuscripts, but it is regarded as genuine by all modem critics.<sup>Schaff, Philip. 1879-90.</sup>
+====Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers====
+:(34) Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.--Again, the silence is broken, not by the cry of anguish or sigh of passionate complaint, but by words of tenderest pity and intercession. It is well, however, that we should remember who were the primary direct objects of that prayer. Not Pilate, for he knew that he had condemned the innocent; not the chief priests and scribes, for their sin, too, was against light and knowledge. Those for whom our Lord then prayed were clearly the soldiers who nailed Him to the cross, to whom the work was but that which they were, as they deemed, bound to do as part of their duty. It is, however, legitimate to think of His intercession as including, in its ultimate extension, all who in any measure sin against God as not knowing what they do, who speak or act against the Son of Man without being guilty of the sin against the Holy Ghost. (See Note on Acts 3:17.)
+====Expositor's Greek Testament====
+:Luke 23:34. Πάτερ, etc.: a prayer altogether true to the spirit of Jesus, therefore, though reported by Lk. alone, intrinsically credible. It is with sincere regret that one is compelled, by its omission in important MSS., to regard its genuineness as subject to a certain amount of doubt. In favour of it is its conformity with the whole aim of Lk. in his Gospel, which is to exhibit the graciousness of Jesus.—διαμεριζόμενοι, etc., and parting His garments they cast lots = they divided His garments by casting lots.

In favour of it is its conformity with the whole aim of Lk. in his Gospel, which is to exhibit the graciousness of Jesus.— διαμεριζόμενοι, etc., and parting His garments they cast lots = they divided His garments by casting lots. <sup>Nicol, W. Robertson, M.A., L.L.D. 1897-1910.</sup>
+====American Standard Version====
+:34 [a]And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
+Footnotes:
+:Luke 23:34 Some ancient authorities omit And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
+====New King James Version====
+:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”[a] And they divided His garments and cast lots.
+Footnotes:
+:Luke 23:34 NU-Text brackets the first sentence as a later addition.
+====New International Version====
+The 1984 New International Version (no longer in print), had the sentence in the text, with a footnote stating:
+:Some early manuscripts do not have this sentence.
+====New American Standard Bible====
+The New American Standard Bible (© 1995 by the Lockman Foundation) has no footnote at all to indicate that a textual variant exists here.
+====New Living Translation====
+The New Living Translation (© 2004 Tyndale House Publishers) has in a footnote:
+:This sentence is not included in '''<u>many</u>''' ancient manuscripts.
+The ''many'' here is represented by about twelve manuscripts. It seems strange and rather deceptive that the 1500 manuscripts that include the reading would not be called many here.
+====English Standard Version====
+The English Standard Version has a footnote, stating that:
+:Some manuscripts” omit the sentence.
+====[[Dan Wallace]]====
+Dan Wallace's [[NET]] version includes the words but he [brackets] them, indicating strong doubt, and then has confusing footnotes that cast doubt on whether these words are inspired Scripture or not:
+:"Many important mss. (1א B D* W Θ 070 579 1241 pc sys sa) lack v. 34a. It is included in א*,2(A) C D2 L Ψ 0250 Ë1,(13) 33 Ï lat syc, p, h. It also fits a major Lukan theme of forgiving the enemies (6:27-36), and it has a parallel in Stephen’s response in [[Acts 7:60]]. The lack of parallels in the other Gospels argues also for inclusion here. On the other hand, the fact of the parallel in [[Acts 7:60]] may well have prompted early scribes to insert the saying in Luke’s Gospel alone. Further, there is the great difficulty of explaining why early and diverse witnesses lack the saying. A decision is difficult, but even those who regard the verse as inauthentic literarily often consider it to be authentic historically. For this reason it has been placed in single brackets in the translation."
+====[[Bruce Metzger]]====
+Bruce Metzger said:
+:“The absence of these words from such early and diverse witnesses as (he names the manuscripts) is most impressive and can scarcely be explained as a deliberate excision by copyists who, considering the fall of Jerusalem to be proof that God had not forgiven the Jews, could not allow it to appear that the prayer of Jesus has remained unanswered. At the same time, the logion (a saying of Jesus), though probably not part of the original Gospel of Luke, bears self-evident tokens of its dominical origin, and was retained, within double square brackets in its traditional place where it has been incorportated by unknown copyists relatively early in the transmission of the Third Gospel.” <sup>page 154 a textual commentary on the Greek New Testament</sup>
+====Leon Morris====
+Leon Morris states:
+:“Early copyists may have been tempted to omit the words by reflection that perhaps God had not forgiven the guilty nation.  The events of 70 AD and afterwards may well have looked like anything but forgiveness.  We should regard the words as genuine” <sup>(Luke, p. 327).</sup>
+====Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th edition====
+The editors of the 27th edition of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece put it within double-brackets, meaning, according to the Nestle-Aland Introduction, that the words within the brackets “Are known not to be a part of the original text.”
+====Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 28th edition====
+NA 28 explains that double brackets
+:“indicate that the enclosed words , generally of some length, are known not to be part of the original text.  These texts derive from a very early stage of the tradition, and have often played a significant role in the history of the church (cf. Jn 7,53-8,11)” (p. 55).
