The Seven Last Words of Christ

Jesus died on the cross

The first statement, “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” is recorded in Luke 23:34.

The second statement, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise,” is recorded in Luke 23:43. 

The third statement, “…he said to his mother, ‘Dear woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother,’” is recorded in John 19:26-27. 

The last four statements were said close together at 3 PM.  The fourth statement, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” is recorded in Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46. 

The fifth statement, “I am thirsty,” is recorded in John 19:28. 

The sixth statement, “It is finished,” is recorded in John 19:30.  With that, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit,” recorded in Luke 23:46, the seventh and last statement.
