Luke 23:28-41

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.

³⁴And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁶And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

³⁷and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

³⁹Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

⁴¹and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this man has done nothing amiss.
