No, he was meek as a lamb. He prayed to his Father while he was upon the cross; he could not lift up his hands, but he could speak to God. He prayed for these wicked people, and said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
“Father, forgive,” the sufferer cries,
“Because they know not what they do.”
To Heaven he lifts his dying eyes:
Was such a prayer e’er heard below?
Tell me for whom the Saviour prays?
For those who bear him deadly hate,
Who spat upon his lovely face,
And pierced his blessed hands and feet,
And does the Saviour pray for these?
