As they led him off, they made Simon, a man from Cyrene who happened to be coming in from the countryside, carry the cross behind Jesus. A huge crowd of people followed, along with women weeping and carrying on. At one point Jesus turned to the women and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children. The time is coming when they’ll say, ’Lucky the women who never conceived! Lucky the wombs that never gave birth! Lucky the breasts that never gave milk!’ Then they’ll start calling to the mountains, ’Fall down on us!’ calling to the hills, ’Cover us up!’ If people do these things to a live, green tree, can you imagine what they’ll do with deadwood?"

Luke 23:26 - Additional Comments

Simon was the first to carry the cross. We are all asked to do that now (Luke 14:27, 9:23-25, Matt 10:38, 16:24-26, Mark 8:34-37, 10:21). It is clear from these passages that this means we are asked to deny ourselves, as Jesus did when He took up His cross. His was a choice, as ours is, also.
