Luke:23:26-43
nkjv@Luke:23:26 @ Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
nkjv@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him.
nkjv@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
nkjv@Luke:23:29 @ For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, "Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!'
nkjv@Luke:23:30 @ Then they will begin "to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"'
nkjv@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?"
nkjv@Luke:23:32 @ There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.
nkjv@Luke:23:33 @ And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
nkjv@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.
nkjv@Luke:23:35 @ And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."
nkjv@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine,
nkjv@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."
nkjv@Luke:23:38 @ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
nkjv@Luke:23:39 @ Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."
nkjv@Luke:23:40 @ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
nkjv@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."
nkjv@Luke:23:42 @ Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
nkjv@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
