34And Jesus said, “Father, eforgive them, ffor they know not what they do.” ▼▼Some manuscripts omit the sentence And Jesus . . . what they do
And they cast lots hto divide his garments. Romans 12:14-21
14 iBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 jRejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 kLive in harmony with one another. lDo not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. ▼▼Or give yourselves to humble tasks
nNever be wise in your own sight. 17 oRepay no one evil for evil, but pgive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, qlive peaceably with all. 19Beloved, rnever avenge yourselves, but leave it ▼▼Greek give place
to the wrath of God, for it is written, t“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, u“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
