Seven of the most famous sayings in the world - more widely recognised now than when they were uttered 2000 years ago - but are they better known? "Father forgive them for they know not what they do" "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." "Dear woman, here is your son, here is your mother." "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)" "I thirst." "It is finished." "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." If you want to know what Jesus really meant by these famous sayings then Pink is a reliable guide.

A. W. Pink (1886-1952) was born in England and converted in his 20’s. He was called to a pastorate in Colorado until 1921, after which he decided to concentrate on writing and speaking at conferences. The next year he started a monthly magazine ‘Studies in the scriptures’ which he edited until his death.
