Luke 23

21  But they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

22  And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

23  But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

24  And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

25  And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

26  And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

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

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

29  For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

30  Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
