What were the Seven things Jesus said on the cross?

by Matt Slick

These are the last seven sayings that Jesus said on the cross. Sometimes they are referred to as the “Seven Words.” There’s also a bit of a debate on the exact order of the sayings, but the following is a complete list with a plausible order.

1. Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
2. Luke 23:43, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
3. John 19:26-27, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”
4. Matt. 27:46, “ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” that is, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
5. John 19:26, “I am thirsty.”
6. John 19:29, “It is finished!”
7. Luke 23:46, “Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.”

On this day...
