Some women stood afar off. The crowd remained a while to watch. Jesus commended his mother to John’s care and John to hers. He spoke words of kingly assurance to the penitent criminal crucified at his side.

He could not save himself and others simultaneously. He chose to sacrifice himself in order to save the world.”
― John R.W. Stott, The Cross of Christ
