Weep Not for Me, Weep For You

Luke 23:28-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 23 in context

Scripture Focus

28But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Luke 23:28-31

Biblical Context

Jesus tells the women of Jerusalem not to weep for him but for themselves and their children; he signals coming days of upheaval and emphasizes personal accountability, using the green tree and the dry as inner-state imagery.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s reading, the crowd and Jerusalem are not places but states of consciousness. Daughters of Jerusalem symbolize an awareness that clings to sorrow as if it proves care, while weeping for Jesus points you toward your own identification with circumstance. The coming days are not external events to dread but inner shifts in belief: if you remain in the green, alive tree of your imagination, you steady abundance; if you see only a dry, barren scene, you invite limitation. The admonition is not to fix Jesus, but to claim responsibility for your inner weather. Assume a state in which you know you govern the conditions of your world; until your inner sight changes, the outer will mirror it. Picture yourself as the I AM that contains all possibility, moving mountains of fear by the simple act of believing differently. When you revise your premise, the mountains fall away and the hills close over you in safety, not danger. The verse thus becomes an invitation to consciousness: your present scenario is the effect of your inner state; alter the state, alter the scene.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner state: I am the I AM now, and this moment is already right. Revise by silently declaring, I am abundant, safe, and fully known; feel the truth as real in your chest.
