" This verse of the Gospel of Mark describes the place where Jesus was crucified and the cruel treatment he received from the Roman soldiers.
Luke 23:34: "Jesus said, Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing. Then they shared his clothes, taking away sorts." This verse of the Gospel of Luke shows the merciful and pardior character of Jesus, even when he was being crucified.
