On his Monday night broadcast, FNC’s “The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly responded to a viewer email asking why he and co-author Martin Dugard omitted Jesus’ line, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do,” as it says in Luke 23:34 of the New Testament in his bestselling book “Killing Jesus.”

O’Reilly explained that he and Dugard were unable to confirm that Jesus said that while on the cross.
