Luke 23:26-32

The Innocent King Condemned, Crucified with Transgressors, and Buried in Hope

Jesus is falsely accused before Pilate, mocked by Herod, declared innocent yet condemned under crowd demand, led to crucifixion, warns Jerusalem’s daughters, is crucified between criminals, forgives enemies, saves the repentant criminal, dies in darkness as the temple curtain tears, is declared righteous by a centurion, and is buried by Joseph while the women witness the tomb.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

26As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
