Luke 23:29

"But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children."

Key Reflection

Jesus urges the women of Jerusalem not to mourn his impending crucifixion but rather to sorrow over their own future and that of their children, highlighting the dire consequences of their rejection of him as Messiah. This moment foreshadows both the coming judgment and the eventual acceptance of Christianity by the Gentiles.
