The Road to the Cross

Luke 23:26-32

And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.

But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.

For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.

Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.

For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?

And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
