Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
A large number of people followed Jesus, including women who mourned and cried aloud because of him.
A time is coming when you will say, ‘Blessed are the women who couldn’t have children! Blessed are those who never gave birth or nursed babies!’
“Look! He’s coming with the clouds!” “Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him.” All the nations of the earth “will mourn because of him.” This will happen! Amen.
