which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled. (30)Then
shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills,
Cover us! (31)For if they do all these things with the green wood, what
will be done with the dry?
(32)Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to
be executed. (33)And when they came to a place called Calvary, there
they crucified him, and the malefactors, the 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. Then dividing his garments, they cast the
lot.
(35)And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this
