The whole time they were physically beating Jesus not once did He say a word. By the time He was hung on the cross it is said that He was unrecognizable. I just put my head down,... most likely in shame. The one person that spoke on Jesus behalf was one of the thieves who earlier mocked Jesus. Luke 23:41-43 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[a]” 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” This is when Jesus cried out and gave up His spirit. Matthew 27:45-46 45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b] The thief who asked Jesus to remember him received salvation through the unearned gift of Gods grace and we too can be saved through His grace as well. Romans 3:22-24 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[a] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Thank You Jesus,...
