Luke 23:26–49

^26hAnd as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. ²⁷And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also ⁱbewailed and lamented him. ²⁸But Jesus turning unto them said, ^kDaughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ²⁹For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, ^lBlessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. ^30mThen shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹For if they do these things in ⁿa green tree, ^owhat shall be done in the dry? ^32pAnd there were also two ^qother, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

^33rAnd when they were come to the place, which is called ^||Calvary, there they crucified him, ^pand the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ³⁴Then said Jesus, ^sFather, ^tforgive them; for ^uthey know not what they do. And ^xthey parted his raiment, and cast lots. ³⁵And ^ythe people stood beholding. And ^zthe rulers also with them ^aderided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, ^bthe chosen of God. ³⁶And the soldiers also ^cmocked him, coming to him, and offering him ^dvinegar, ³⁷And saying, ^eIf thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸And a ^fsuperscription also was written over him in letters ^gof Greek, and Latin, and ^ghHebrew, ⁱTHIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^39jAnd one of the malefactors which were hanged ^krailed on him, saying, ^lIf thou be Christ, save thyself and us. ⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? ⁴¹And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done ^mnothing amiss. ⁴²And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest ⁿinto thy kingdom. ⁴³And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in ^oparadise.

⁴⁴And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the ^||earth until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵And ^pthe sun was darkened, and ^qthe veil of the temple was rent in the midst. ⁴⁶And when Jesus had cried ^rwith a loud voice, he said, ^sFather, ^tinto thy hands I ^ucommend my spirit: and having said thus, ^xhe gave up the ghost.

^47yNow when the centurion saw what was done, ^zhe glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸And all the people that came together ^ato that sight, beholding the things which were done, ^bsmote their breasts, and returned. ⁴⁹And ^call his acquaintance, and ^dthe women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
