LUKE 23:34

 This would have to be the two most known numbers in Chicago sports history!

Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."  And they divided up His clothes by casting lots. - Luke 23:34

Nicely played Luke!  He puts in the quote about asking the Father to forgive them and then immediately says how they were gambling for his clothes.

First, how much could Your clothes have been worth?  I don't picture You as a guy that had the latest fashions.  I mean, today, those would go for a zillion dollars, but back then, who would even want those.  Maybe that's the point - they were just doing it to be mean.

Second, who are You asking the Father to forgive?  The soldiers?  The people who yelled, "Crucify Him"?  People in general that were the reason for You doing this.  A lot of people had no clue what they were doing.  Heck, a lot of people today have no idea what they are doing.  I guess that's our job.
