Luke 23:27-32

English Standard Version

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were ^(A)mourning and lamenting for him. ²⁸ But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For behold, ^(B)the days are coming when they will say, ^(C)‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ ^30 (D)Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ ³¹ For ^(E)if they do these things when ^(F)the wood is green, what will happen ^(G)when it is dry?”

^32 (H)Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
