Luke 23:26-56

26 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.
27 And there followed Him a great company of people, and of women who also bewailed and lamented Him.
28 But Jesus, turning unto them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore and the breasts which never gave suck.'
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, `Fall on us!' and to the hills, `Cover us!'
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
32 And there were also two others, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death.
33 And when they had 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.
34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they parted His raiment and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers who were also with them derided Him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God."
36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him and offering Him vinega
37 and saying, "If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself."
38 And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS
39 And one of the malefactors who was hanged railed against Him, saying, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us!"
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, "Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art under the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this Man hath done nothing amiss."
42 And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom."
43 And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise."
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit." And having said thus, He gave up the ghost.
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorifed God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man!"
48 And all the people who came together to that sight, beholding the things which had been done, smote their breasts and returned.
49 And all His acquaintances and the women who had followed Him from Galilee stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, and he was a good man and a just.
51 (The same had not consented to their counsel and deed.) He was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself also waited for the Kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54 And that day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women also, who came with Him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher and how His body was laid.
56 And they returned and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.
