vw@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 behind Jesus.

vw@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and bewailed Him.

vw@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.

vw@Luke:23:29 @ For behold the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed.

vw@Luke:23:30 @ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!

vw@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?

vw@Luke:23:32 @ There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

vw@Luke:23:33 @ And when they had come to the place called Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

vw@Luke:23:34 @ And they divided His garments and cast lots.

vw@Luke:23:35 @ And the people stood looking on. Moreover the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.

vw@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him vinegar,

vw@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.

vw@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.

vw@Luke:23:39 @ And one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.

vw@Luke:23:40 @ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

vw@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.
