For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the 30 wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the 31 hills, Cover us [_see Hos. 10:8_].

The place cannot have been where the so-called "Church of the Holy Sepulchre" stands, far within the walls. There is of late a rapidly growing agreement that it was the northern end of the Temple hill, whose rounded summit (without the city wall), and southern face with holes in the rock, looks at a little distance much like a skull. This place fulfils all the conditions.] § 164. THE FIRST THREE HOURS ON THE CROSS
