What Does Luke 23:27 Mean?
Not every voice in Jerusalem cried for his death. Along the way a multitude follows, and among them women weep aloud with the open, unashamed grief of the East.
Luke, who so often notices the women near Jesus, shows that compassion walked the road to Calvary too. Their tears are the first tribute paid to the suffering King. Lament is not unbelief; it is love telling the truth about loss. And the Lord who noticed every mourner on his hardest road will turn, even now, to speak to these.
