Luke 23:28

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, ¹  do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves ²  and for your children.

So 1:5; So 2:7; So 3:5,10; So 5:8,16; So 8:4

¹ sn The title Daughters of Jerusalem portrays these women mourning as representatives of the nation.

² sn Do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves. Judgment now comes on the nation (see Luke 19:41-44) for this judgment of Jesus. Ironically, they mourn the wrong person – they should be mourning for themselves.
