*
And as they led him away ,
they laid hold upon one Simon ,
a Cyrenian ,
coming in from the country ,
and on him they laid the cross ,
that he might carry it after Jesus .
*
And there followed him a great company of people ,
and of women who bewailed and lamented him .
*
But Jesus ,
turning to them ,
said ,
Daughters of Jerusalem ,
do not weep for me ,
but weep for yourselves ,
and for your children .
*
For ,
behold ,
the days are coming when they shall say ,
Blessed are the barren ,
and the wombs that never bore ,
and the breasts which never nursed .
*
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains ,
Fall upon us ;
and to the hills ,
Cover us .
*
For if they do these things when the wood is green ,
what shall happen when it is dry ?
*
And there were also two others ,
criminals ,
who were led away with him to be put to death .
*
And when they had come to the place ,
which is called The Skull ,
there they crucified him ,
and the criminals ,
one on the right hand ,
and the other on the left .
*
Then Jesus said ,
Father ,
forgive them ;
for they do not know what they do .
And they divided his clothing by casting lots .
*
The people stood watching .
And the rulers derided him ,
saying ,
He saved others ;
let him save himself ,
if he is the Christ ,
the chosen of God .
*
And the soldiers also mocked him ,
coming to him ,
and offering him wine vinegar ,
*
And saying ,
If you are the king of the Jews ,
save yourself .
*
Now there was also an inscription written over him ,
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS .
*
And one of the criminals who was hung there railed at him ,
saying ,
If you are the Christ ,
save yourself and us .
*
But the other rebuked him ,
saying ,
Do you not fear God ,
since you are under the same condemnation ?
*
And we indeed justly ;
for we receive the due reward of our deeds :
but this man has done nothing wrong .
*
And he said to Jesus ,
Lord ,
remember me when you come into your kingdom .
*
And Jesus said to him ,
Truly I say to you ,
Today you shall be with me in paradise .
