So if that is the case, then I should treat everyone in the Modern Bible Movement as having the same interpretation on the same verse, too. In other words, I can turn the tables and play this same game with you too if you like.
For example:
1. Dan Wallace’s View on Luke 23:34a:
Dan Wallace clearly questions the authenticity of Luke 23:34a.
“The external evidence for its omission is significant, and the internal evidence is even stronger. Although this saying is consistent with Jesus’ character, it is probably not part of the original text of Luke.”
— Daniel B. Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics (Zondervan, 1996), p. 52 n.22
He also repeats this view online:
“The prayer, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,’ is found in some important manuscripts but lacking in others of equal or greater weight… It’s likely a later addition.”
— Dan Wallace, Bible.org, article titled “The Textual Problem in Luke 23:34,” published 2007
(

So, Wallace’s stance:
He believes Luke 23:34a is likely not original, calling it an interpolation added later by scribes.
2. James White’s View on Luke 23:34a:
James White defends the authenticity of Luke 23:34.
In his debates and writings, he often emphasizes that while the verse is missing in a few early Alexandrian witnesses, it is supported by the overwhelming majority of Greek manuscripts and early versions.
“The text of Luke 23:34 is found in the vast majority of manuscripts. The minority omission does not call for its removal. There is no reason to doubt that these words were truly spoken by our Lord.”
— James R. White, The King James Only Controversy, Revised Edition (Bethany House, 2009), p. 269
He also said in his 2016 Dividing Line broadcast:
“I believe Jesus did say those words. The evidence of omission is very limited compared to the wide range of manuscripts that contain it.”
So, James White’s stance:
He affirms Luke 23:34 as genuine and should remain in Scripture.
So to put it to you another way (speaking of Critical Text Advocates):
"Y'all need to get your stories straight."
