Luke 23:26-32

26As they led Jesus away, a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene, happened to be coming in from the countryside. The soldiers seized him and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

27A large crowd trailed behind, including many grief-stricken women.

28But Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29For the days are coming when they will say, ‘Fortunate indeed are the women who are childless, the wombs that have not borne a child and the breasts that have never nursed.’

30People will beg the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and plead with the hills, ‘Bury us.’

31For if these things are done when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Two others, both criminals, were led out to be executed with him.
