Oh oh, I get your point now. I guess FreeNChrist said it all. Jesus did say "Father forgive them..." while He was on the Cross. As for asking the offender to forgive the victim... Well when Peter attacked the soldier and cut off his ear (in this case, he's the victim, the soldier was the offender for arresting Jesus), well, Jesus certainly didn't ask the soldier to forgive Peter for cutting of his ear. He did heal him, so not sure how to view that.
