Simon Carries the Cross

^26 (A)And when they led Him away, they took hold of a man, Simon of ^(B)Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

²⁷ And following Him was a large multitude of the people, and of women who were ^[a](C)mourning and lamenting Him. ²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop crying for Me, but cry for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘^(D)Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ ³⁰ Then they will begin to ^(E)say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ ³¹ For if they do these things ^[b]when the tree is green, what will happen ^[c]when it is dry?”

^32 (F)Now two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

^33 (G)And when they came to the place called ^[d]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
