Luke 23:28 in Context — Luke 23

26 Y llevándole, tomaron á un Simón Cireneo, que venía del campo, y le pusieron encima la cruz para que la llevase tras Jesús.

27 Y le seguía una grande multitud de pueblo, y de mujeres, las cuales le lloraban y lamentaban.

28 Mas Jesús, vuelto á ellas, les dice: Hijas de Jerusalem, no me lloréis á mí, mas llorad por vosotras mismas, y por vuestros hijos.

29 Porque he aquí vendrán días en que dirán: Bienaventuradas las estériles, y los vientres que no engendraron, y los pechos que no criaron.

30 Entonces comenzarán á decir á los montes: Caed sobre nosotros: y á los collados: Cubridnos.
