The Way to the Cross
26 As(A) they led him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian,(B) who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross(C) on him to carry behind Jesus. 27 A large crowd of people followed him, including women who were mourning and lamenting him.(D) 28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,(E) do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. 29 Look, the days are coming(F) when they will say, ‘Blessed are the women without children, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!’(G) 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ [a](H) 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(I)

Jesus Is Crucified
26 And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain man of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and[a] placed the cross on him, to carry it[b] behind Jesus. 27 And a great crowd of the people were following him, and of women who were mourning and lamenting 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, days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not give birth, and the breasts that did not nurse!’ 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green,[c] what will happen when it is dry?”[d]
