26 And as they led Him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there accompanied a great multitude of the people, women who bewailed and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning toward them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming during which they will say, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have never nursed ! 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover (conceal, hide) us! 31 For if they do these things when the timber is green, what will happen when it is dry? 32 Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be executed with Him. 33 And when they came to the place which is called The Skull , there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. 34 And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them. 35 Now the people stood by watching; but the rulers scoffed and sneered (turned up their noses) at Him, saying, He rescued others ; let Him now rescue Himself, if He is the Christ (the Messiah) of God, His Chosen One! 36 The soldiers also ridiculed and made sport of Him, coming up and offering Him vinegar (a sour wine mixed with water) 37 And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, save (rescue) Yourself . 38 For there was also an inscription above Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew: This is the King of the Jews. 39 One of the criminals who was suspended kept up a railing at Him, saying, Are You not the Christ (the Messiah)? Rescue Yourself and us ! 40 But the other one reproved him, saying, Do you not even fear God, seeing you yourself are under the same sentence of condemnation and suffering the same penalty? 41 And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our actions; but this Man has done nothing out of the way . 42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingly glory! 43 And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.
