Luke 23:26-33

Jesus before Pilate

²⁶And when they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

²⁷Now following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and grieving for Him. ²⁸But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹For behold, days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are those who cannot bear, and the wombs that have not given birth, and the breasts that have not nursed.’ ³⁰Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ ³¹For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

³²Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

³³And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
