023:026 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus. 023:027 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. 023:028 But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 023:029 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' 023:030 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and tell the hills, 'Cover us.'{Hosea 10:8} 023:031 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?" 023:032 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. 023:033 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 023:034 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing."
