Luke 23:20-32
-
20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
-
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
-
22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
-
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
-
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
-
25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
-
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
-
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
-
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
-
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
-
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
-
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
-
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
