Matthew 16:24-26

Then Yesha said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 27:45-46

Now from the sixth hour, darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. About the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”

Luke 22:32-35

Others, two evildoers, were also led away to be put to death with Him. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on His right and the other on his left. But Yeshua was saying, Avi (Father) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots, dividing up his clothing. The people stood there watching. And even the leaders were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is Mashiach of Elohim, the Chosen One!”

Luke 23:34

But Yeshua was saying, “Avi (Father), forgive them, for they do now know what they are doing.”

Luke 23:39-43

One of the evildoers hanging there was jeering at Him, saying, “Aren’t You the Mashiach? Save yourself – and us! But the other one, rebuking him, replied, “Don’t you fear Elohim, since you are under the same sentence? We’re getting what we deserve for our actions, and rightly so – but this One has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Yeshua, remember me when you come into Your kingdom.” Yeshua said to him, “Amen, I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

Luke 23:46

And Yeshua, crying out with a loud voice, and said, “Avi (Father), into Your hands I entrust My Ruach (My Spirit).” When He had said this, He breathed His last.

John 13:34-35

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples. if you have love for one another.”

John 19:25-29

Standing near the execution stake of Yeshua were His mother, His mother’s sister, Miriam the wife of Clopas, and Miriam from Magdala. Yeshua saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby. He tells His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then He tells the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that very hour, the disciple took her into his own home. After this, when Yeshua knew that all things were now complete, to fulfill the Scripture He said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was sitting there, so they put a sponge soaked with the sour wine on a hyssop branch and brought it to His mouth. When Yeshua tasted the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His Ruach (Spirit).
