<P> 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 . Several composers have set the Seven Last Words to music . </P> <P> 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: </P> <Ol> <Li> Luke 23: 34: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do . </Li> <Li> Luke 23: 43: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise . </Li> <Li> John 19: 26--27: Woman, behold your son . Son, behold your mother </Li> <Li> Matthew 27: 46 & Mark 15: 34 My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? </Li> <Li> John 19: 28: I thirst . </Li> <Li> John 19: 30: It is finished .
