20. And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;
21. but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
23. But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24. And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
25. And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26. And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
27. And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
28. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29. For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31. For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32. And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33. And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
35. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.
