LUKE 23:48 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.”
When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away — all the people who gathered beat their breasts: the communal lamentation gesture that communicates grief and guilt. The crowd that demanded crucifixion now beats their breasts in the aftermath.
