Luke 23:27-49

27And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

28And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

29for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

31for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

32Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

33And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

34And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

35And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of 1God.

36And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

37and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

39Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear 2God, thou that art under the same judgment?

41and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.

42And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.

43And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.

45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

46And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

47Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified 3God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

48And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.

49And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
