Luke 23:26-43

The Crucifixion

26 aAnd as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were bmourning and lamenting for him. 28But turning to them Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, cthe days are coming when they will say, dBlessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 eThen they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31For fif they do these things when gthe wood is green, what will happen hwhen it is dry?”

32 iTwo others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 jAnd when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, kone on his right and one on his left. 34And Jesus said, Father, lforgive them, mfor they know not what they do.”
Some manuscripts omit the sentence  And Jesus . . . what they do
And they cast lots oto divide his garments.
35And pthe people stood by, watching, qbut rthe rulers sscoffed at him, saying, t“He saved others; ulet him save himself, vif he is wthe Christ of God, xhis Chosen One!” 36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and yoffering him sour wine 37and saying, zIf you are aathe King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 abThere was also an inscription over him,
Some manuscripts add in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew
This is adthe King of the Jews.”

39 aeOne of the criminals who were hanged afrailed at him,
Or blasphemed him
saying, “Are you not ahthe Christ? Save yourself and us!”
40But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he said, “Jesus, remember me aiwhen you come into your kingdom.” 43And he said to him, Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in ajparadise.”
