Luke 23:48

James Moffatt - New Testament

And when all the crowds who had collected for the sight saw what had happened, they turned away beating their breasts.

See the chapter Copy

But the taxgatherer stood far away and would not lift even his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'O God, have mercy on me for my sins!'

When they heard this, it went straight to their hearts; they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what are we to do?"

Everyone was weeping and bewailing her, but he said, "Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep."
