Luke 23:28-37 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

28. But יהושע, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Yerushalayim, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29. “For look, days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nursed!’

30. “Then they shall begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

31. “Because if they do this to the green tree, what is going to be done to the dry tree?”

32. And two others also, evil-doers, were led with Him to be put to death.

33. And when they had come to the place called Golgotha, they impaled Him there, and the evil-doers, one on the right and the other on the left.

34. And יהושע said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.

35. And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, “He saved others, let Him save Himself if He is the Messiah, the chosen of Elohim.”

36. And the soldiers were mocking Him too, coming and offering Him sour wine,

37. and saying, “If You are the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim, save Yourself.”
