Luke 23:26–49

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.

²⁷And there followed him a great multitude of people and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps 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 in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?

³²And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.

³³And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there: and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³⁴And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood beholding. And the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others: let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.

³⁶And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

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

³⁸And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹And one of those robbers who were hanged blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

⁴⁰But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing; thou art under the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done no evil.

⁴²And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

⁴³And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

⁴⁴And it was almost the sixth hour: and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

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

⁴⁶And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁷Now, the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.

⁴⁸And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight and saw the things that were done returned, striking their breasts.

⁴⁹And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee stood afar off, beholding these things.
