The Carrying of the Cross
26And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27And there followed him a great multitude of people and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
28But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck.
30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us. And to the hills: Cover us.
31For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
32And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
