Luke 23:25-41

²⁵He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.

²⁶When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Yeshua.

²⁷A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸But Yeshua, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

³⁰Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³²There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

³³When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

³⁴Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments amongst them, they cast lots.

³⁵The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!”

³⁶The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Messiah, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
