Luke 23:27-38

Luke 23:27-38 CSB

A large crowd of people followed him, including women who were mourning and lamenting him.  But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,   do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. Look, the days are coming   when they will say, ‘Blessed are the women without children, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed! ’   Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us! ’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us! ’   , For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry? ”   Two others — criminals   — were also led away to be executed with him. When  they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. Then Jesus said, “Father,   forgive   them, because they do not know what they are doing.”   , And they divided his clothes and cast lots.  The  people stood watching, and even the leaders were scoffing:  “He saved others; let him save himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One! ”  The soldiers also mocked him. They came offering him sour wine  and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,  save yourself! ” An inscription was above him:  This Is the King of the Jews.
