Luke 23:34 says: "Then Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they are doing, and they parted his raiment, and cast lots."

Acts 7:60 says: "And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep"

Both Jesus and Stephen prayed for God to forgive the sinners (their killers at that time) but the differences in their prayers was that Jesus did not fall asleep after praying while stephen fell asleep. Also, Jesus said they were ignorant of their sins while Stephen didn't say they were ignorant.
