Jesus knew what they would be facing face
What you sow -you will reap. When you die, you are faced with yourself. If you deny the existence of the Source/Creator, you create a situation in a new life by incarnating into the hell you create. Jesus knowing what his tormentors had to face in order to evolve through many lifetimes/eternities, it would be a fiery hell for them. It was out of compassion/wisdom that he asked God to forgive them.

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