The Jesus's speech on the cross (also called The Seven Last Words of the Cross ) are seven biblical expressions associated with Jesus during his crucifixion. Traditionally, short speeches have been called "words". They were collected from the four Kanonic Gospel. Three of the words only appear in the Gospel of Luke and three only in the Gospel of John. Other sayings appear in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark. In Matthew and Mark, Jesus calls out to God. In Luke, he forgives his murderers, convinces the regrets of thieves, and commits his spirit to the Father. In John, he speaks to his mother, saying he is thirsty, and declares the end of his earthly life.
The final word of articulation someone says before death or as an approach of death is generally taken to have a special meaning. These seven words, being "the last words," can provide a way of understanding what is ultimately important to the dying man on this cross. The lack of words recorded in the biblical record shows that Jesus remained silent for hours he hung there.
Since the 16th century they have been widely used in sermons on Good Friday, and the entire book has been written on the basis of his theological analysis. The Seven Last Words of the Cross is an integral part of the liturgy in the Anglican Christian, Catholic, Protestant, and other Christian traditions.
The tradition of the seven proverbs is an example of a Christian approach to the development of gospel harmony in which the material of different gospels is combined, resulting in a report that transcends every gospel. Some composers have arranged the Last Seven Words for music.

Seven sayings
The seven sayings are part of Christian meditation that is often used during Lent, Holy Week and Good Friday. The traditional sequence of speech is:
- Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
- Luke 23:43: Verily, I say to you, today you will be with me in heaven.
- John 19: 26-27: Woman, look at your son. Son, look at your mother
- Matthew 27:46 & amp; Mark 15:34 O Lord, O Lord, why did you leave me?
- John 19:28: I am thirsty.
- John 19:30: It's done. (From the Greek "Tetelestai" which is also translated "It's finished", or "It's done".) - It's Done.
- Luke 23:46: Dad, into your hands I praise my soul.
Traditionally, these seven utterances are called the words 1. Forgiveness , 2. Security , 3. Relationships , 4. Abandonment , 5. Distress , 6. Triumph and 7. Reunion .
As can be seen from the list above, not all seven utterances can be found in one of Jesus' crucifix accounts. The sequence is the harmonization of the texts of each of the four canonical Gospels. In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, Jesus is quoted in Aramaic, shouting the fourth phrase . In the Gospel of Luke, the first, second, and seventh speeches occur. The third, fifth and sixth words can only be found in the Gospel of John. In other words:
- In Matthew and Mark:
- Dear God, My God, why did you leave me?
- In Luke:
- Dad, forgive them, because they do not know what they do
- Actually, I tell you, today you will be with me in heaven (in response to one of the two thieves crucified beside him)
- Dad, in your hand I gave up my soul (last words)
- In John:
- Woman, look at your son: look at your mother (addressed to Mary, mother of Jesus, either as a self-reference, or as a reference to the beloved disciple and an instruction to his own pupil)
- I'm thirsty (just before the wet sponge, mentioned by all the canonical Scriptures, is offered)
- Finished (last word)
1. Dad, excuse them, because they do not know what they do
Luke 23:34
- Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
Jesus' first adage on the cross is traditionally called the "Word of Forgiveness". It is theologically interpreted as Jesus' prayer for forgiveness for the Roman soldiers who crucified him and all others involved in his crucifixion.
Some early manuscripts do not include this phrase in Luke 23:34.
2. Today you will be with me in heaven
Luke 23:43
- And he said to him, "Really, I told you, today you will be with me in heaven".
This saying is traditionally called "The Word of Salvation". According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was crucified between two criminals (traditionally named Dismas and Gestas), one of whom supported an innocent Jesus and asked him to remember him when he came to his kingdom. Jesus replied, "Truly, I say to you..." ( ???? ?????? , am ? n leg leg soi ), followed by the only appearance of the word "Paradise" in the Gospels ( ???????/span>, paradeis? , from Persian pairidaeza "paradise park").
This seemingly simple change in punctuation in this adage has been the subject of doctrinal differences among Christian groups, given the lack of punctuation in the original Greek texts. Catholics and Protestant Christians usually use a version that reads "today you will be with me in Paradise". This reading assumes a direct journey to Heaven and has no implications of purgatory. On the other hand, some Protestants who believe in soul sleep have used readings that emphasize "I tell you today", leaving open the possibility that the statement was made today, but the coming in Heaven may be later.
3. Look at your son: look at your mother
John 19: 26-27
- Jesus saw his own mother, and the disciple standing near his beloved, he said to his mother, "Woman, look at your son." Then he said to his disciple, "Look at your mother." And from then on, she brought her mother into her family.
This statement is traditionally called "The Word of Relationship" and in it Jesus entrusts Mary, her mother, into the care of the "beloved disciple of Jesus."
Adam Hamilton's methodical interpretation of 2009: "Jesus looked down from the cross to see his mother standing by her.As far as we know, only one of the twelve apostles is at the foot of the cross:" the disciple whom Jesus loved, "is usually identified as John. and in terrible pain, he does not think of himself but is concerned for his mother's welfare after his death. This shows the humanity of Jesus and the depth of love he has for his mother and his disciple to be whose attention is entrusted to him. "
4. Oh my God, my God, why did you leave me?
Matthew 27:46
- Around the ninth hour, Jesus shouted out loud, saying "Eli Eli sabachthani long?" that is, "My God, my God, why did you leave me?"
Mark 15:34
- And at ninth hour, Jesus shouted out loud, "Eloi Eloi sabachthani long?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why did you leave me?"
This is the only saying that appears in more than one gospel, and is an excerpt from Psalm 22: 1. This admonition is taken by some as the waiver of the Son by the Father. Other theologians understand the cries as people who are truly human and who feel abandoned. Killed by his enemies, largely abandoned by his friends, he may feel abandoned by God.
Others pointed this out as the first words of Psalm 22 and proclaim that Jesus read these words, perhaps even the entire psalm, "that he can show himself as the person to which the words are spoken, so that the Jewish scribes and people may examine and see the cause why he did not want to descend from the cross, that is, because this psalm indicates that he is determined that he should suffer these things. "
Theologian Frank Stagg refers to what he calls "the mystery of the incarnate Jesus:"... he who died in Calvary (Calvary) is one with the Father, that God is in Christ, and that at the same time he cries out to his father. "
In Aramaic, the phrase was translated, "???????????".
5. I'm thirsty
John 19:28
- He said, "I'm thirsty".
This statement is traditionally called "The Word of Distress" and is compared and contrasted with Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan Woman at the Well in John 4: 4-26 .
As in other stories, the Gospel of John says Jesus was offered sour wine, adding that this man placed a sponge dipped in wine on a hyssop and held it on Jesus' lips. The branches of Hyssop have been found in the Old Testament and in the Hebrew Book.
This statement of Jesus is interpreted by John as the fulfillment of the prophecy given in Psalm 69:21 (cf. Psalm 22:15 ), then the quotation from John's Gospel includes a commentary " holy".
6. Completed
John 19:30
- Jesus said, "It's over."
This statement is traditionally called "The Word of Triumph" and is theologically interpreted as the final announcement of Jesus' earthly life, in anticipation of the Resurrection.
Adam Hamilton writes: "These last words are seen as a triumphant appeal, not because they are offended, Jesus has now accomplished what he must do, a plan has been fulfilled, salvation is possible, a love is shown He has taken our place." has shown the destruction of man and the love of God. He has offered himself fully to God as a sacrifice in the name of humanity. When he died, it was over. With these words, the noblest person who ever walked the face of this planet, God in the flesh, breathed his last. "
This verse has also been translated as "It has been perfected."
7. Dad, to your hands i praise my soul
Luke 23:46
- And speaking in a loud voice, Jesus said, "Daddy, into your hand I praise my soul".
From these words, which are announcements and not requests, are traditionally called "The Word of Reunion" and are theologically interpreted as the proclamation of Jesus joining God the Father in Heaven.
Hamilton has written that "When darkness seems to prevail in life, it takes faith even to speak with God, even if it is to complain to him." The last words of Jesus from the cross show his absolute belief in God: 'Father, into your hand I praise my soul 'This has been called the model of prayer for all people when fear, sickness, or facing their own death. It says basically:
I give myself to you, my God. In my life and when I am dying, in good and bad moments, whatever I am and have, I place in your hands, O God, for your salvation.

Theological Interpretation
The last words of Jesus have been the subject of various Christian teachings and sermons, and some authors have written books specifically devoted to Christ's final sayings.
Imam and author Timothy Radcliffe states that in the Bible, seven is the number of perfection, and he views the last seven words as the completion of the circle of creation by God and analyzes the structure of the last seven words to gain further insight.
Other interpretations and translations
The saying "O Lord, my Lord, why have you forsaken me" is generally given in Aramaic transliteration with a translation (originally in Greek) afterwards. This phrase is the opening sentence of Psalm 22 , a psalm about the persecution, the grace and salvation of God. It's common for people today to reference songs by quoting their first line. In the verses that immediately follow this proverb, in both Gospels, the audience who heard Jesus' cry understand him to seek help from Elijah (Eliyy). The small difference between the two gospel accounts is most likely caused by dialect. Matthew's version seems to be more influenced by Hebrew, whereas Mark may be more of a daily conversation.

Aramaic says? AbaqtanÃÆ'® is based on a verb? Abaq, 'to permit, allow, forgive, and abandon', with the end of a perfectly tense sentence (singular second person: 'you'), and the object ending -anÃÆ'® (1 person singular: 'me').
A. T. Robertson notes that "the so-called Gospel of Peter 1.5 preserves this utterance in the form of Docetic (Cerinthian): 'My strength, my power, You abandon me! ' "
Historical sayings
James Dunn considers the seven utterances to be weakly rooted in tradition and see them as part of the elaboration in various retweets of Jesus' final hours. However, Dunn argues in favor of the authenticity of Mark/Matthew who says that by presenting Jesus as seeing himself "abandoned" it would be embarrassing for the early Church, and therefore would not be found. Geza Vermes, states that the first adage of (Matthew and Mark) is a quote from Psalm 22, and is therefore sometimes seen as a theological and literary device used by writers. According to Vermes, attempts to interpret the phrase as a hopeful reference to the scriptures provide indirect evidence of its authenticity. Leslie Houlden, on the other hand, argues that Luke may have purposely set aside Matthew/Mark to say of his Gospel because it does not fit in the model of Jesus he presents.
