Bible. Luke
42:023:023 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he
might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed.
42:023:024 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
42:023:025 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was
cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered
Jesus to their will.
42:023:026 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the
cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
42:023:027 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
42:023:028 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
42:023:029 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
paps which never gave suck.
42:023:030 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and
to the hills, Cover us.
42:023:031 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be
done in the dry?
42:023:032 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be
put to death.
42:023:033 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left.
42:023:034 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
42:023:035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if
he be Christ, the chosen of God.
42:023:036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
him vinegar,
42:023:037 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
42:023:038 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
42:023:039 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
42:023:040 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
42:023:041 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42:023:042 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
42:023:043 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise.
42:023:044 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour.
