Luke 23:29-45

²⁹For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which did not give birth, and breasts which did not nurse!’

³⁰Then they will begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

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

³²And they also were leading two others with Him, evildoers, to be put to death.

³³And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right, and one on the left.

³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And dividing His garments, they cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood, watching. And the rulers with them also were sneering, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the elect of God.”

³⁶The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine,

³⁷and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

³⁸And an inscription also was written over Him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹Then one of the evildoers who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

⁴⁰But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man did nothing wrong.”

⁴²Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom.”

⁴³And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
