Jesus said in Luke 23:
Both indicate the temple. The “green wood” symbolizes the physical body of Christ, which in turn symbolizes the temple of God. The "dry" symbolizes the physical Jerusalem temple.
Jesus was on his way to crucifixion, Luke 23:
A dry tree can be set on fire easily. The dry tree symbolizes the Jerusalem temple. It had not been producing good fruit because it was dry. Rome would come and burn the city of Jerusalem and its temple for its rebellion.
What do the “green wood” and the “dry" indicate?31 if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

Jesus was on his way to crucifixion, Luke 23:
Jesus warned the women that bad things would come upon them and their kids. Thirty-some years later, Rome would burn the city of Jerusalem and the temple.26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
A green tree is not so easily set on fire. Jesus didn't commit any crime. Despite Pilate's reluctance to execute him, he was about to be crucified. They were about to hang Jesus' body on a tree. Jesus' body symbolizes the temple of God.31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
