Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 23:27-38

27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
28But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
30At that time
‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
33When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
35The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
36The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
37“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
38Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
— Luke 23:27-38
