And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,
and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,
And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.
