Luke 23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” (WEB)
Jesus, again, our perfect example, prayed this, while He was on the cross, dying for me. He asked the Father to forgive those who crucified Him, Roman soldiers, temple servants, priests, probably Pilate. In a way, that includes me, too. But for my sin, He wouldn't have had to be crucified. What a thought!

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).

The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
