Luke 23:18-33

¹⁸But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this man and release Barabbas to us;

¹⁹who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed them.

²¹But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²²And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁵And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

²⁷And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

²⁸And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

²⁹for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

³¹for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

³²Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

³³And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.
