Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Yes he prayed for them. He did not say I forgive them, instead by praying for them he left forgive ess in God the Father's hands.

Just as Stephen did when he was killed.

Forgiveness is always preceeded by repentance.

He asked the Father to forgive them just as Jesus is our intercessor/mediator before the Father when we ask for forgiveness. Jesus had no anger towards those who persecuted Him to death. God grants the authority to forgive sins and Jesus being the Son of God who forgave the sins of all mankind through His sacrifice under God's power and authority given to Him while on earth.

Agreed, except we asking g for forgive ess repe t of our si s.
What evidence do you have that the executioners of Jesus and the murderers of Stephen express any regret for their actions?

Do you believe God forgives the unrepentant.
