The Sayings of Jesus on the cross (also called the Seven Last Words from the Cross) are seven expressions biblically attributed to Jesus during his crucifixion. Traditionally, the brief sayings have been called "words". They are gathered from the four Canonical Gospels.〔Geoffrey W. Bromiley, ''International Standard Bible Encyclopedia'', Eerdmans Press 1995, ISBN 0-8028-3784-0 p. 426〕〔Joseph F. Kelly, ''An Introduction to the New Testament for Catholics'' Liturgical Press, 2006 ISBN 978-0-8146-5216-9 p. 153〕 Three of the sayings appear only in the Gospel of Luke and three only in the Gospel of John. The other saying appears both in the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Matthew.〔''Jesus: the complete guide'' by Leslie Houlden 2006 ISBN 0-8264-8011-X p. 627〕 In Mark and Matthew, Jesus cries out to God. In Luke, he forgives his killers, reassures the penitent thief, and commends his spirit to the Father. In John, he speaks to his mother, says he thirsts, and declares the end of his earthly life. A person's final articulated words said prior to death or as death approaches generally are taken to have particular significance in meaning. These seven sayings, being "last words", may provide a way to understand what was ultimately important to this man who was dying on the cross.〔Hamilton, Adam. ''24 Hours That Changed the World''. Abingdon Press, 2009. ISBN 978-0-687-46555-2〕 The sparsity of sayings recorded in the biblical accounts suggests that Jesus remained relatively silent for the hours he hung there.〔Wilson, Ralph F. "The Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross". Since the 16th century they have been widely used in sermons on Good Friday, and entire books have been written on theological analysis of them.〔〔''Jesus of Nazareth'' by W. Mccrocklin 2006 ISBN 1-59781-863-1 p. 134〕〔〔''The Seven Last Words From The Cross'' by Fleming Rutledge 2004 ISBN 0-8028-2786-1 p. 8–10〕 The Seven Last Words from the Cross are an integral part of the liturgy in the Anglican, Catholic, Protestant, and other Christian traditions. The seven-sayings tradition is an example of the Christian approach to the construction of a Gospel harmony in which material from different Gospels is combined, producing an account that goes beyond each Gospel.〔〔Ehrman, Bart D.. Jesus, Interrupted, HarperCollins, 2009. ISBN 0-06-117393-2〕 Several composers have set the Seven Last Words to music. == Seven sayings == The seven sayings form part of a Christian meditation that is often used during Lent, Holy Week and Good Friday. The traditional order of the sayings is:〔Jan Majernik, ''The Synoptics'', Emmaus Road Press: 2005 ISBN 1-931018-31-6, p. 190〕 # Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. # Luke 23:43: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. # John 19:26–27: Woman, behold your son. Son Behold your mother. # Matthew 27:46 & Mark 15:34 My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? # John 19:28: I thirst. # John 19:30: It is finished. (From the Greek "Tetelestai" which is also translated "It is accomplished.") # Luke 23:46: Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. Traditionally, these seven sayings are called words of 1. ''Forgiveness'', 2. ''Salvation'', 3. ''Relationship'', 4. ''Abandonment'', 5. ''Distress'', 6. ''Triumph'' and 7. ''Reunion''.〔 As can be seen from the above list, not all seven sayings can be found in any one account of Jesus' crucifixion. The ordering is a harmonisation of the texts from each of the four canonical gospels. In the gospels of Matthew and Mark, Jesus is quoted in Aramaic, shouting the ''fourth'' phrase only, and cries out wordlessly before dying. In Luke's Gospel, the first, second, and seventh sayings occur. The third, fifth and sixth sayings can only be found in John's Gospel. In other words: * In Matthew and Mark : * * ''My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?'' * In Luke: * * ''Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do'' * * ''Truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise'' (in response to one of the two thieves crucified next to him) * * ''Father, into your hands I commit my spirit'' (last words) * In John: * * ''Woman, behold your son: behold your mother'' (directed at Mary, the mother of Jesus, either as a self-reference, or as a reference to the beloved disciple and an instruction to the disciple himself) * * ''I thirst'' (just before a wetted sponge, mentioned by all the Canonical Gospels, is offered) * * ''It is finished'' (last words) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sayings of Jesus on the cross」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
