Luke 23:31

Luke 23:31

29 ^aFor indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’

30 Then they will begin ^a‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

31 ^aFor if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

32 ^aThere were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

33 And ^awhen they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 23:30

Luke 23:32 >>

If they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? - Our Lord makes use of a proverbial expression, frequent among the Jews, who compare a good man to a green tree, and a bad man to a dead one: as if he had said, If an innocent person suffer thus, what will become of the wicked? Of those who are as ready for destruction as dry wood for the fire?
