Jesus begs forgiveness for those who crucified him. He provides the pattern for Christian martyrdom: fidelity to God and charity toward enemies. “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44),” Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount. He practices what he preached in his first word from the Cross. The first Christian martyr, St. Stephen, would pray as he was being stoned, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:60).
