Luke 23:29-39

Listen to Luke 23:29-39

29 for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

31 for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar

37 and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews

39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
