In Luke 23:34, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Apparently, it was at the beginning of the crucifixion. He said it because the Roman soldiers (1) were only following orders -- it was their job, and (2) it was something that had to be done to follow God's plan to save us from sin and death.
