Luke 23v26-43:- None of the Jerusalem people dare to help Jesus carry the Cross because they were frightened of the Temple Priests. br br The Crucifixion br br 26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. The people of Jerusalem were so frightened by the Chief Priest of the Temple that they dare not come forward to help Jesus carry his Cross. Although Jesus was beaten badly that even Peter denied Him but he was strong enough to carry his own cross but he wanted to test the Jerusalem people if anyone would be courgeous to defy the stern look of the Temple Priests who were mocking Him. Nobody dare to come out but this Simon outside Jerusalem. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" This is important. The wood is green meaning living in spirit and understanding what Jesus Preached and the dead wood are men of Letters as you find today. 32 Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!" 36 The soldiers, the once-born also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" 38 There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews. 39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." 42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Royal Kingdom." 43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." br br In Jesus, we are to be solitary.
