Luke 23 Summary
Luke 23 recounts Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and burial—including his prayer of forgiveness and the promise to the dying thief.
Though found innocent, Jesus is condemned to crucifixion. On the cross he prays, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’
He promises paradise to the repentant criminal beside him, then commits his spirit to the Father and dies; he is laid in a tomb.
