Luke 23:34-36

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁴ Jesus said, ‘Father, these people do not know what they are doing. So please forgive them.’

The soldiers then picked up Jesus' clothes for themselves. They played a game to decide who would receive each piece of his clothes. ³⁵ The people stood there and they were watching. The Jewish leaders were laughing at Jesus. They said, ‘He saved other people, did he? Then he should save his own life! Then we will know that he is really the Messiah, the man that God has chosen.’

³⁶ The soldiers also laughed at him. They came up to him and they offered him cheap wine to drink.
