"With amazement the angels beheld the infinite love of Jesus, who, suffering the most intense agony of mind and body, thought only of others, and encouraged the penitent soul to believe. In His humiliation He as a prophet had addressed the daughters of Jerusalem; as priest and advocate He had pleaded with the Father to forgive His murderers; as a loving Saviour He had forgiven the sins of the penitent thief. DA 752.1"
"Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."
The EGW passage describes Jesus' actions and attitudes on the cross, including his prayer for forgiveness, which is directly related to Luke 23:34. While not a direct quote, it elaborates on the same event and theme.
As the eyes of Jesus wandered over the multitude about Him, one figure arrested His attention. At the foot of the cross stood His mother, supported by the disciple John. She could not endure to remain away from her Son; and John, knowing that the end was near, had brought her again to the cross. In His dying hour, Christ remembered His mother. Looking into her grief-stricken face and then upon John, He said to her, “Woman, behold thy son!” then to John, “Behold thy mother!” John understood Christ's words, and accepted the trust. He at once took Mary to his home, and from that hour cared for her tenderly. O pitiful, loving Saviour; amid all His physical pain and mental anguish, He had a thoughtful care for His mother! He had no money with which to provide for her comfort; but He was enshrined in the heart of John, and He gave His mother to him as a precious legacy. Thus He provided for her that which she most needed,—the tender sympathy of one who loved her because she loved Jesus. And …
"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!"
The EGW passage directly references and expands upon the event described in John 19:26, where Jesus entrusts his mother to John's care.
"agony, He remembers to provide for His sorrowing, widowed mother. The same spirit will be seen in every disciple of our Lord. Those who follow Christ will feel that it is a part of their religion to respect and provide for their parents. From the heart where His love is cherished, father and mother will never fail of receiving thoughtful care and tender sympathy. DA 752.3"
"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."
The EGW passage draws a direct parallel between Jesus's concern for his mother in John 19:26-27 and the responsibility of all Christians to care for their parents. This is a clear thematic parallel.
"And now the Lord of glory was dying, a ransom for the race. In yielding up His precious life, Christ was not upheld by triumphant joy. All was oppressive gloom. It was not the dread of death that weighed upon Him. It was not the pain and ignominy of the cross that caused His inexpressible agony. Christ was the prince of sufferers; but His suffering was from a sense of the malignity of sin, a knowledge that through familiarity with evil, man had become blinded to its enormity. Christ saw how deep is the hold of sin upon the human heart, how few would be willing to break from its power. He knew that without help from God, humanity must perish, and He saw multitudes perishing within reach of abundant help. DA 752.4"
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Both passages describe Christ's suffering and death as a sacrifice for sin. While the EGW passage focuses on the internal anguish and the weight of sin, Isaiah 53:5 speaks of the physical wounds and the healing that comes through them. They both convey the idea of Christ bearing the burden of sin.
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
Both passages address the concept of Christ taking on the sin of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:21 states that Christ was made to be sin for us, while the EGW passage describes Christ's suffering as a result of the malignity of sin and His knowledge of its impact on humanity.
