Good Friday

The Bible quotes seven last sentences that Jesus spoke from the Cross-

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
Luke 23:34

Truly I tell you; today you will be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:43

Woman, here is your son… Here is your mother
John 19:26

Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? (My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?)
Mark 15:34

I am thirsty
John 19:28

It is finished
John 19:30

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Luke 23:46

Which of these sentences means the most to you and why?

For me the first two mean the most.

The first because Jesus is asking for forgiveness for the people like me, who did not realize what they were doing when they wrongly accused Him, beat Him, mocked Him and crucified Him. They were unaware of whom He was and what He was trying to do for them.

The second, because even though I have done many things wrong in the past, He is willing to forgive me and I can be with Him in paradise.
